Artist's Comments

Saint Azul is one of the patron saints of gardeners, who seem to require a lot of divine intervention as a group, since when you garden, you pretty much shove something in the ground, make it a little offering of water and fertilizer, and pray for a miracle.

Azul is specifically the patron of bulbs, and is invoked by those who are trying to remember where exactly they planted those tulips, whether they're supposed to take the irises up in fall or not, and whether or not they accidentally put the daffodils in upside-down. Medals of St. Azul buried in beds are believed to protect against incursions by moles and field mice.

9 x 12, mixed media, and man, am I glad that book is done. The energy I suddenly have! I'm still not quite ready to throw myself into art again, but a quick saint seemed like a nice change of pace.

Original is for sale, prints available for $10 plus shipping. (Buy multiple saints and get a discount!) Send a note or visit [link] for details.

I love your paintings of saints! This is beautiful. Excellent work on the clothes and the texture of his feathers.

If you expect the unexpected, and the unexpected becomes the expected, then you can no longer expect the unexpected because there is no more unexpected to expect, and then you are not expecting the unexpected, so the whole thing is pointless.

A Blue-Jay is a rather interesting choice for the patron saint of gardens.

Stellar color.

Agreed! He does make for a very interesting saint.

I really like the texture in the window-sunburst-thing! Brilliant coloring!

to deny our impulses is to deny the very thing that makes us...human.
