1926. “andorra gold”

autumn audience

taking in the glis’ning show

andorra meadow ❤️🦊

It has been a while since I finished a painting. So here is my latest addition to my Wissahickon Wonder collection. It is titled “Andorra Gold” and it is a 3’x4’ acrylic on stretched canvas. I’ve been working on it for months and it has many many marks to it to express my interpretation of Andorra Meadow in the autumn. The photograph does not do it justice but I hope you enjoy it otherwise. 🦊❤️

1925. red, white, blue

the fiery red sky

warning of white stuff to come

i’ll be blue if not 🦊❤️

The morning sky and cold temps predicted snow. The forecasters say 1/2 inch to a really big dump. Time will tell. 🦊❤️

1924. nativity in glass

shining through stained glass

sun illuminates the son

born on christmas day❤️🦊

As Yulan and I sat at the vigil Christmas Mass at the amazingly beautiful chapel at Chestnut Hill College, I was grateful that we had a seat that had a perfect view of the stained glass window depicting the Nativity scene. Even better, the setting sun was directly in line with the window to illuminate it brilliantly. It was a wonderful Christmas gift to start the celebration. Merry Christmas! 🦊❤️

1923. no room at the inn

standing at your feet

the rust is conspicuous

yet you wait and pray 🦊❤️

It was a rainy raw day as I walked past a once beautiful shrine of Mary. The disrepair of her image added to the desolate feeling of the day. It made me think of the Nativity Story when there was no room at the inn. 🦊❤️
