Three of my favorite paintings...

 

This painting hangs in the little church that I grew up in.  All my memories

as a child had this image in them.  My first marriage took place in front of

it also.  It is "Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane" by Heinrich Hofmann and was painted in 1892.

 

  

" Annunciation" by Henry Ossawa Tanner...I love the details in this...my friend and mentor, Ethel, had an encounter with an angel and this is how she described it to me...amazing!!!

A print of this is in my studio for inspiration.  It's "Gethsemane" by Carl
Bloch.  So touching, I feel it truly was this way.
