Saint Benedict. 2018 by Stephen B. Whatley
Happy & blessed All Saints' Day...blessings of healing, peace, prosperity & joy through Our Lady, Queen of The Saints & all the Saints...including Saint Benedict ~ in this new painting by expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley.
Saint Benedict is Patron Saint of Europe & Students, amongst other causes. It is said that monks within his monastery, disagreeing with his principles, conspired to kill him, by poisoning bread he was to bless ~ & a Raven flew in and took the bread.
Stephen B. Whatley is a Catholic convert, a calling he felt through his spiritual search to survive early tragedy in his life; and his exhibition, "Paintings From Prayer" was staged at London's Westminster Cathedral in 2013.
Stephen gets what he humbly feels a 'Divine Push' to paint tributes of faith, amongst his other work - a large body of which is on public display every day in the City of London, just outside the Tower of London - where his series of 30 commissioned paintings charting the history of The Tower are permanently reproduced throughout the walkway leading from Tower Hill Station.
Light out of darkness...good over evil. Peace !
