The paintings of Christ ineffably visiting our commonplace lives brought tears to my eyes. Christ is in our midst! May we never forget it!

Love this, thank you 💕🤩 the couple fighting is an incredible reminder, for marriage, and for all relationships with everyone we know!

Don’t know which I enjoy more: the image of you concealing this sad waffle in your purse OR your use of the term “pocketbook” which I haven’t heard since 1962, thereabouts ...

LOL I use "pocketbook" because I once read some Freudian suggesting that "purse" was a subliminal reminder of a part of female anatomy.

Ha! Well, that’s off-putting ... guess I’ll stick with my usual retro term, “handbag.”

And yes, these paintings are wonderful and studying them kind of choked me up.

I decided to message him on his Instagram account. I will let you know what he says about purchasing his work.

Adorable! I absolutely love this. We have a red egg that we kept at our parish which, when dyed for Pascha, left a marking of a perfect cross.

The painting called “Afraid”. That’s me. Stopped me dead in my tracks when I scrolled to it. That’s me in December 2021 when I was intubated (twice) with Covid. Jesus was there. He visited me at my bedside. I’m not joking. What a painting! That’s me.

Thank you so much for sharing these incredibly poignant images. I do hope we can find a way to connect this artist with a seemingly enthusiastic community of buyers!
