ST. JOSEPH AND THE CHRIST CHILD

Acrylic on museum quality masonite

A day to themselves out into the countryside. Simple, loving conversation.

Joseph is anchored between two trees as the representation of fatherhood.

This painting was a house warming gift for some friends who have Irish ancestry 

so I placed a shamrock in the foliage.

They were searching for a home at a reasonable price so Sheila took her grandchildren to pray at Father Joseph Murray’s grave. They got the home for a great price that they could afford and after moving in, discovered that the home they bought was the home that Father Joseph had been born in!!! 

May we never consider ourselves without friends in heaven. 

This is our faith. The Communion of Saints.
