       St. Francis, Fisherman's Wharf. 2015 oil on canvas  (features a sculpture by Beniamino Bufano)

A friend recently commissioned this oil painting from me, of the Junípero Serra statue in Mission Dolores cemetery, San Francisco.  This was a month leading up to Serra's beatification.  I texted him, "Your purchase is now worth millions!"

St. Francis Xavier coloring page

I'm starting a new project: a coloring book of the entire Liturgical year. Beginning with December because the First Sunday of Advent is around then and it's simpler to go month by month, the first page I did is St. Francis Xavier, whose feast is December 3rd.

Saint Kateri Tekakwitha

In honor of her formal canonization, Sunday, October 21, 2012.
Saint Kateri pray for us.

I have been remiss in sharing recent work. So in honor of his feastday: a recently commissioned image of Saint Wenceslaus.
