A fragment of old cedar barn wood
backs vintage photos of a historic
cathedral, stained glass window,
plus a Michelangelo statue of Mary
and Jesus, along with a portion of
an antique book page to create
original wall art. The text is an
actual page from an antique book
of Catholic prayers and reads in
part as, "Let your prayers be short
and summon your whole soul for
the effort". The piece hangs on the
wall via a sawtooth hanger and has
been coated with clear acrylic
varnish as a protective finish to
provide a mild gloss. The
photographs are from around the
world, taken by "John" during his
1992 Grand Tour, and include the
following... St. Stephen's Cathedral
in Venice, a 15th century stained
glass window at the Basilica dei
Santi Giovanni e Paolo in Venice,
The Pietà statue of Mary holding
Jesus in St. Peter's Basilica by
Michelangelo. The art work also
includes handmade acrylic
transfers of handmade stained
glass looking magazine paper cut-
outs that provide transparent
colors throughout.
