“Opening”, 8” x 10”, colored pencils.

In this work we see a rose on the verge of becoming fully blossomed. Its petals as if arms outstretching to receive and be filled with life. Likewise we in our being open and receive the Life of Christ when we receive His life giving Redemption. From that moment, and each day afterward, our soul opens to true Life and blossoms in His sublime Grace.

The Lord is the strength of my life. Psalm 27:1
