Saint Thomas Aquinas. 2017 by Stephen B. Whatley
A new Catholic tribute drawing paying tribute to Saint Thomas Aquinas by expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley.
The artist, an Anglican convert after years trying to overcome early tragedy in his life, often feels what he calls a 'Divine push' to create such works, with prayers for strength and healing - and this tribute in charcoal was created on the Feast Day, January 28, 2017, of this Italian 13th century Saint; who looked to the Holy Spirit in all his theological and philosophical writings.
In 2013 Stephen B. Whatley's exhibition 'Paintings From Prayer' was exhibited at Westminster Cathedral in London; and his vibrant series of 30 paintings commissioned by the Tower of London are reproduced permanently throughout Tower Hill Underpass - the main entrance to the Tower from Tower Hill Station.
Peace !
