Also, my painting of "The 5 Carmelite Martyrs of Tucson" hangs in the Sacristy behind the Alter. It is the only known painting of these 5 Martyrs in existence. It is a privilege and grace to have my paintings in this beautiful historical Church. It is run by the Carmelite Friars of California, Arizona and Utah.<br />

is a photo of me and Moe Howard of the Three Stooges and a portrait I
painted of him. He is an avid Stooge fan and came across the photo. I
was 16 years old at the time and visited him in his home (where the
photo was taken). Also the same week, in a coincidental unrelated
encounter, I got an e-mail from the Great-great Grandson of Larry Fine
of
the Three Stooges, named Kurt Lamond who for years was searching for
the
Artist of Larry's portrait! <br />
<br />
We ended up meeting over Lunch and learned
about much Stooge trivia and getting to know a super guy! His
Grandfather was actor and TV host, Don Lamond. Don appeared in many
Stooge films and hosted a Kids TV show, which I made an appearance on in
the 60s, showing Stooge Art!<br />

My latest commission is a portrait of the French Carmelite Nun, Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity ,who will be Canonized tomorrow in Rome. She wrote many Spiritual writings and after taking her final vows developed Addison's disease, which at the time had no cure. A painful ,slow death followed, yet she accepted her suffering as "Gods Will". She died at the age of 26. This painting will participate in celebration at St Therese Catholic Church in Alhambra, on November 6th. It will be a special Thanksgiving Mass, celebrating her Canonization ,along with 5 other saints, in Rome this October. Celebrant will be Archbishop Jose Gomez of Los Angeles ,who will bless the painting. This event will be televised live by EWTN.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW-qcb0W6wM6VGzzLer79l9AmC6ValHTm_TZd4UX_FvtK-zHDD0SIebIUvE8TmdTjLhk5-JTmvEZZQKjmamR_T8V9iHmdWbvuz_WUfpcITLjAcKPqLojQnvgq2wxxuDxXnGQ2DJf9tK_k/s1600/contrast1.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW-qcb0W6wM6VGzzLer79l9AmC6ValHTm_TZd4UX_FvtK-zHDD0SIebIUvE8TmdTjLhk5-JTmvEZZQKjmamR_T8V9iHmdWbvuz_WUfpcITLjAcKPqLojQnvgq2wxxuDxXnGQ2DJf9tK_k/s400/contrast1.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>

Newest commission completed! "Jesus and St Teresa of Avila exchanging Hearts" 40x60 for the Carmelite Fathers of Arizona. This painting will hang inside the Church of Santa Cruz, Tucson Arizona. <br />
<br />
A lesser acknowledged St Teresa (St Therese of Lisieux, being more widely known) she lived in Spain in the 1500s and is considered one of the founders of the modern day Carmelites, along with St John of the Cross.. as well as an important Doctor of the Church. This painting is based on her many visions of Jesus. This shows the gentle exchange of Love between them. It shows a Resurrected Christ, although most of the visions were with a suffering Christ. It was decided among the Friars to show a Risen Christ as it was her first vision of Jesus.</div>

Carmelite. It is of the 5 Carmelite Martyrs of 1936 who served in the Mission
of Santa Cruz in Tucson Arizona, before being sent back to Spain where
they were killed by the Marxist Party in 1936. <br />
<br />
This was a particularly
challenging work because of its size and detail. Many things having a
particular meaning are included in the painting. ( It is 48x60, Oil) The
scene is supposed to be taking place in Spain,where they are
receiving the Palm of Martyrdom from Our Lady of Carmel and Baby
Jesus (The Idea of the Image is from various richly decorated Spanish
statues of this Madonna.)<br />
<br />
The Sky is red from the War, Blood and Tribulation in
Spain, where many Religious were persecuted and killed in the 1930s. A
burst of Heaven above, with St John of the Cross and St Teresa of Avila await the Martyrs. The Mission in Arizona is shown to the left. <br />
<br />
This is an original concept. The only photos used were the faces of the
Martyrs (Blessed Brother Angel, Blessed Father Edurado, Blessed Father
Pedro (receiving the Palm from the Madonna), Blessed Father Lucas
and Blessed Father Vincente. All 5 Priests were beatified in Spain last
October. Beatification is a step before Sainthood. When finished, the
painting will hang in the room behind the main alter where the Priests
dress before Mass.<br />

He gave more that 70 years of service to his community of the Carmelite order. Originally from Ireland, did most of his service in the US. He ended up at St Therese Alhambra and passed peacefully at St Theresa Hospital, surrounded by his Brothers in Christ. He was loved very much by all and remained alert and active to the end, It was said an hour before passing, he was moving his hands in celebration as a Mass was held in his room. I believe he was a living Saint.<br />

Father Philip has asked for a portrait of St John of the Cross and St Teresa of Avila.. Based on a few paintings for reference. The addition of still life and background are my own to better tell a story. the paintings are oil and measure 24x30. they will go into conference and reading rooms in the Rectory. Both Saints are Carmelites and Spanish mystics.<br />

Initially I did only Barron ,but Mom, my Daughter Autumn, didn't like them "separated"! so Liam is the marble bust! Portrait of Alexander " is a dear, Facebook Friends little Son.. I loved this portrait because of the back lighting and sweet cherubic face the blue tones remind me of Picassos Blue Period. The Moon is something I like for mood and interest, I have included Moon in many of my paintings. :St John of the Cross" is a new painting for the Carmelite Fathers of St Therese for their newly decorated Rectory.. Created from numerous references ,this is a semi ,original painting. it is now in the stage before color. but will probably be kept in a "mud Pallet".<br />

St Teresa of Avila is one of the Churches doctors who wrote many books on Dogma and also reformed the Carmelites and started the Discalced Carmelites. She worked closely with St John of the Cross, which will be my next project. In this painting, she is inspired by the Holy Spirit. This painting is a combination of many different references and the face is an original concept bases on old Icons of her.<br />

The three paintings that have been "on the Easel" are now completed. The Memorial Portrait of Cocoa is for my dear friend Margaux Viera who lost her little dog from an accident (hit and run). It was very devastating.. I could only offer to make a portrait to comfort her and preserve her memory of her wonderful little dog. The Second painting, Anita Baldwin is the great great Grandmother of Margaux and is another painting made for her. The third, The Portrait of the Lord Family Children, a long time in the making, but successfully finished and will be delivered to the family this week. It is a celebration of East and West.. the Mother is Chinese American and The Dad a Westerner.. the children are shown in colorful traditional costumes. The Foo Lion figurine signifies Strength and Protection.. the little vase on the right holds a tiny American flag.<br />

The First is a Religious painting"of Jesus after his scourging and will be crowned with thorns and adorned with a scarlet robe. It is based on Guy Atchley's production of "The Living Christ" that took place in Tuscon Arizona last summer. The Role of Christ was performed by Father Robert Barcelos, who has been a frequent model in many of my paintings.<br />

As I worked on different poses of the children I came up with this pose because it is so characteristic of what children are like when you ask them to pose. They cannot stay still for a moment. They become "squirmy and impatient" I especially like the little girl on he right because she adds movement to the painting! Painting Children have always been a favorite of mine and I usually paint them being in an active or narrative pose. If they just :sit: in a painting, I think some of their personality and charm is somehow "missed". Also, as in most of my portraits, there is a story involved. In this case, it is the heritage of the children who have an Asian and Western life style. So I put in the costumes that they occasionally wear for Celebrations in their family ..it added a lot of beauty..as for the tiny American flag..it symbolized Dads heritage and that they are an American Family. <br />
