Light of The World : Holy Mother & Child of Kentucky. 2021 by Stephen B. Whatley
A new tribute to the Holy Mother & Child by expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley; created on Christmas Day 2021 : Light of The World - Holy Mother & Child of Kentucky, USA.
The artist has a deep affection for the USA, close to his heart and upset by the news of the tornado that hit the Kentucky on December 10th this year.
He was moved to hear that a statue of The Blessed Virgin Mary & Baby Jesus remained standing and preserved outside the badly damaged Resurrection Catholic Church in Dawson Springs, KT. This became a starting point of inspiration.
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.
The British London-based artist gets what he humbly feels a 'Divine Push' to paint tributes of faith, alongside 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 paintings commissioned by Historic Royal Palaces, 20 years ago, vibrantly chart the history of The Tower.
As a permanent art exhibit reproduced throughout the walkway leading from Tower Hill Station they form a bright and colourful entrance to the Tower of London.
Blessings of Peace on this Feast of The Holy Family & Feast of Saint Stephen.
