The Spirit of St James's Church, Spanish Place: 125th Anniversary Tribute. 2015 by Stephen B Whatley

A new painting focusing on the Sanctuary and interior of St James's RC Church, Spanish Place London; which was opened on September 29, 1890. Its rich history and association with Spain stretches back to the 16th century and is contained in the link below; from the Parish website.

 

Expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley - whose Catholic tribute paintings have been exhibited at London's Westminster Cathedral - created the oil painting inspired by a series of drawings made on location inside the beautiful church, a jewel in Marylebone in central London. The painting was completed over several days - including the actual anniversary.
