Painting finished! Now to begin the varnishing process.

"Laudato Si'", acrylic on canvas, 64" x 80", 2022.

For the University of San Francisco, Campus Ministry office.

The request was to celebrate the Earth, include St. Francis of Assisi & St. Kateri Tekakwitha, examples of renewable energy sources, and acknowledge various faith traditions. For energy, we have solar, wind, tidal and thermal. The architecture is from houses of worship in San Francisco. And is that a unicorn? In medieval art, a unicorn often represented Christ. I am thankful that Fr. Donal Godfrey gave me the opportunity to create something with the theme of Pope Francis' encyclical. It has been an honor and a blessing.
