I teach a weekly sixth grade religious education class in which we study the Old Testament. In my class we use the Bible as our textbook, plus some supplimentary materials designed to help the kids identify a little better with people who lived in a culture VERY different from ours. Recently I have begun to illustrate some of the stories.
Yesterday we had a lively session on the subject of Hospitality: how Abraham gave the best that he had to three strangers who came to visit, and one of the visitors turned out to be the Lord himself.

I used to do a lot of pen and ink drawings, but in my urgency to learn color, had put aside line drawing for a while. But they are useful as well.

Very nice drawing!
A message to all of you Catholic Illustrators out there: Until four years ago, I worked in the Johannesburg inner-city slums at St Anne's Catholic Church for seventeen years. I worked with terribly poor kids, kids-in-danger, Special Needs etc. ALL of whom come from economically, spiritually and morally impoverished backgrounds.
Your work was of immeasurable value to these kids (MY Kids), for my own part but most especially on behalf of YOUR LITTLE BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST, I must say an enormous thank-you!!!
Sharing your hard work and God given talent in this way impacts lives and souls beyond your wildest imaginings. May GOD bless you all today and always.
CHRIST IS RISEN!!! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Note to Sophie - please post this on whatever message-board/social media that you share with your fellows at The Catholic Illustrator’s Guild
