I created this image from a photograph I'd taken of the outside of the Guadalupe Cathedral in downtown Dallas, TX. The exterior shows it old history beautifully. Futher, I was inspired to add in the figure in prayer, eternally devoted, for you can tell that it is a spirit. Anyone who may be interested I do have a larger size of this as well.

I have previously posted one version of this photo; however, I also wanted to share a variation. It was my attempt to present an angel in prayer. Again, I convey the spirit of the angel by making the figure slightly transparent. Please forgive the size on this page. I know it's rather large.

Browsing through the pages here I've seen that several people hold Joan of Arc in high regard. It was actually through this saint that I was called back to the Church so she has very special significance to me as well. The attatched is a manuscript page I did including the coat of arms given to her family by Charles VII. The script is from an interview taken during the retrial in which she was vindicated of her prior accusations in which someone is giving his first hand account of Jehanne prior to the defeat of the siege of Orleans.

The photos are ethereal and contemplative, BMURMAN.
The manuscript crest is excellent!

Perhaps you could share that story sometime in one of the other threads.

Ah,how I wish I had just a smidgeon of artistic talent. You are blessed.

After many years of experience and observation, I think I can say with certainty, that you most likely DO have more than a smidge of artistic talent. The desire is the seed. Some people have that gift of photo realistic drawing, but with practice anyone can draw and paint. You just need the right materials and the time and discipline to practice, and some help from the saints. I hope you get the chance to make some art.
