Website Update

I have recently begun updating my website with some recent work, like the one pictured in the previous post. It also has new work that is currently available. All of the newer stuff is in oils. I do not have any new icons available at this time. But....

This summer at synod I'll be selling a number of NEW icons that I currently have in production, including:

Christ Pantocrator
Our Lady of Walsingham
St. James the Greater
St. Katherine of Alexandria
St. Nicholas
The Dormition of the Virgin
The Harrowing of Hell
The Raising of Lazarus
The Transfiguration

These are all new compositions. Namely, they are copied from icons that I have never copied before, or themes that I have never painted before.

In addition to these I will have new versions of some of the standard themes that I have done in the past:

St. George Slaying the Dragon (in a few different forms)
Christ Pantocrator
Crucifixion (various forms)
Descent from the Cross
Virgin Eleousa
Mother of Compassion
Virgin Hogiditria
and more...

As with all of my other icons, these are written in the traditional manner using traditional materials and techniques. These will be available in all sorts of sizes, so there will something that will fit into everyone's budget!

Unlike some horrific church renovations that have gone on in recent years that were supposedly meant to "update" the church, this restoration was meant to "return" the interior of the building to its original Federal-period design. And I must say that it a very tasteful renovation. They did a really good job. It looks almost like an old early Episcopal church - white washed interior, minimal designs, etc. The interior is now very bright because they removed the stained glass (dark blue Willet windows), and uncovered the original skylights in the dome. They kept all of the good stuff (the high altar, altar rails, etc.), and brought some cool old stuff back (e.g. the nation's first RC epi...

The Myth of Catholic Art

Here is a great article written by artist Maureen Mullarkey for Crisis Magazine. The Myth of Catholic Art: An Unmanifesto By Maureen Mullarkey Is there a uniquely Catholic approach to art? What is legitimate Catholic art? How can a Catholic make a significant difference in the artistic community? How should Catholics approach secular art? What might be included in a manifesto for Catholic artists? These questions are direct and compelling. They are also tricky to address because the assumptions behind them are complex and hidden. It would be better to shift attention from straitened definitions of Catholic art toward something more generous to the arts themselves and more useful to Catholics in the public square. But where to start with questions that lead ...
