Saint Etheldreda/ Saint Audrey

My new artwork made for a friend. A very little known saint and princess.
Queen of South GyrweQueen of NorthumbriaAbbess of ElyBorn: AD 636 at Exning, SuffolkDied: 23rd June AD 679 at Ely Abbey, Cambridgeshire

Princess. Widowed after three years marriage; rumor had it that the marriage was never consumated as Etheldrda had taken a vow of perpetual virginity. She married again for political reasons. Her new husband knew of her vow, but grew tired of living as brother and sister, and began to make advances on her; she refused him. He tried to bribe the local bishop, Saint Wilfrid of York, to release her from her vow; Wilfrid refused, and instead helped Audrey escape to a promontory called Colbert’s Head. A high tide then came in – and stayed high for seven days; it kept her separated from her husband and was considered divine intervention. The young man gave up; the marriage was annulled, and Audrey took the veil. She spent a year with her neice, Saint Ebbe the Elder. Founded the great abbey of Ely, where she lived an austere life.

    Etheldreda died of an enormous and unsightly tumor on her neck. She gratefully accepted this as Divine retribution for all the necklaces she had worn in her early years.

    In the Middle Ages, a festival called Saint Audrey’s Fair, was held at Ely on her feast day. The exceptional shodiness of the merchandise, especially the neckerchiefs, contributed to the English language the word tawdry, a corruption of Saint Audrey.

Sharing my artwork

I am trying to work on different techniques and changing what I usually do to see what is the outcome of the change, I actually like this one a lot.

A Forbidden God/ Un Dios Prohibido

This looks like a great movie telling the horrible reality of the Spanish civil war. The film is made in Spanish with english subtitles so I am hoping it will come to the US soon. You can support the film by going to this link: Forbidden God

Where you can also watch the trailer and learn more about the story behind it.

Te Deum laudamus, Canto Gregriano - Inno

I would like to share the beauty of Gregorian Chant, the most traditional form of music for the Mass. The sacred music of the Church and it's simplicity make it perfect for prayer, contemplation and elevating the soul to God. No other music can compare to Gregorian Chant for the worship of God during the liturgy.

To launch my blog I decided to create a new artwork to inspire and communicate what I love. I get my inspiration from old paintings and other artists out there. A picture is worth a thousand words they say and that is why I was inspired to make this picture below, because beautiful churches, paintings and statues can really speak to the soul. Hope you will like it and leave a comment if you will! I would love to hear your thoughts.

Heaven on earth.
