You have such a lovely touch with color. I also really like the way your art grows out of heart and not out of any feeling of what might sell. The one with people looking up from the table is masterful. It's funny because I'm practicing that effect for a future drawing. Not easy. I also love the tree imagery. I am not Christian but/and I have long appreciated the attention to the little shreds of Scripture that Christians study carefully. Thank you for sharing all of these images and thoughts. Hi Jan,

I remember that Opus-and-the-olive-bread episode. Yes---this is indeed St. Francis, marked with the stigmata that he received during a vision he received while on a prayer retreat on the mountainside of La Verna in 1224.

Did Francis have stigmata, or is that mime dude Jesus?
