Saint Luke. 2019 by Stephen B. Whatley
Video details of the Catholic tribute painting by expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley, painted on the Feast Day of Saint Luke, October 18, 2018.
Saint Luke - also know as Luke The Evangelist, through his gospel writings - is Patron Saint of Artists and also Physicians.
In history, Saint Luke has often been depicted painting The Holy Mother & Child - and whilst the artist looked at paintings through the ages, his main inspiration - along with the prayers which generate his paintings - was a humble statue of the Saint sent to the artist from loved ones in the USA in 2011.
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.
