Spiritual Art

"A glimmer of that feeling has shone so often in your eyes when—like the artists of every age—captivated by the hidden power of sounds and words, colours and shapes, you have admired the work of your inspiration, sensing in it some echo of the mystery of creation with which God, the sole creator of all things, has wished in some way to associate you."

--St. John Paul II, Letter to Artists, 1999

I use leftover pieces of board with mistakes for "blotting" my brushes as I paint the final project. This is an example of one. I think they often end up looking remarkably interesting. I love how this turned out.
