Beyond the Familiar

This painting is inspired by the prayer of St. Brendan the Navigator, a prayer for those going beyond what is familiar. He prayed, “Do I assume that the storms will be stronger than me?” The prayer and the painting inspired this newsletter I wrote on the paradox of swallowing what we love.

16 x 20 inches on canvas paper, this original painting is on sale for less than half price. To quote a man in a fine business suit who came back to my art tent just for this painting and examined it closely, $200 is a “good price”. And now it’s $90, plus shipping.
