Hail Mary, full of grace, the lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of god, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. May the blessed Virgin Mary be with you always: she is the “tota pulchra”portrayed by countless artists, whom Dante contemplates among the splendors of paradise as “beauty that was joy in the eyes of all other saints.”Pope John Paul II, Letter to Artist’s 1999.
Paintings are produced in the artist’s barn and done with oil on pre-stretched gessoed canvases. Each is originally hand-painted and signed by the artist.Large scale paintings are the nature scenes which measure 30”x40”. These are intended to create solemnity as though one were looking at a vast landscape. They can be hung individually or in a series. They are usually best on a large wall with no window to the outside creating a trompe l’oeil. They tend to import the majesty of nature.
The main series by the artist are renditions of the Virgin Mary across cultures. She has been portrayed by countless artists over the centuries and each interpretation is newly formed by this artist. These paintings are oil on canvas and measure 10”x10”. The frames are painted in oil and can also be hung in a series. They tend toward a Mexican theme where the Virgin Mary is revered and celebrated every year, on her feast day, December 12th. The Virgin of Guadalupe is the main Mexican icon honored in a church in Mexico City. Mary is considered to be the greatest weapon against evil and her image can bring about a protective influence.
The artist paints classic style Roman busts mostly in 17th century style which are oil on canvas that measure 16”x20”. With the traditional frame these measure approximately 25”x26”. These busts give protection to the home by making the occupants feel as if someone is watching them.
