St James's Church Spanish Place, London , with Art by Stephen B. Whatley. July 25, 2025
My painting of Saint James on display in the sanctuary of St James’s RC Church, Spanish Place in London W1 - just after the special Mass celebrating the Feast Day of St James, on July 25, 2025.
Sadly, I was unable to attend the evening Mass this year and my attention was drawn to this beautiful photograph - showing my painting of Saint James on display - taken by the Spanish Embassy and posted on Twitter (X.com) - very touching to see.
My 2013 painting was acquired by the church that year and hangs usually in the Rectory connected to St James’s.
