This is a painting I finished in October 2019 for a juried show.  It reminds me of the "stay at home" order during this pandemic. Best wishes to all.

I wanted to share something I read:

"Picture the scene: the place, Constantinople; the year, 837.  A monk called Lazarus crawls on all fours towards the Church of St. John the Baptist.  Every movement is agony to a body beaten to a pulp by imperial guards.  His hands are burned to the bone after being forcibly held in fire.  What horrendous crime has this  monk committed to deserve such torture? ….  No, he is guilty of painting icons!
We know next to nothing about Lazarus apart from this event, but his story is a dramatic illustration both of the savagery of the iconoclast persecution and the heroism of those who supported the holy icons.  Lazarus struggles into the church on his knees and, ignoring the pain of third-degree burns, grasps a brush in black and blistered hands.  Quietly and reverently, he continues to work on the  icon he has just been punished for starting."

This was Lazarus the Painter taken from "Traveling Companions:  Walking with the Saints of  the Church" by Christopher Moorey
