A Taste of Tuscany


We each see life differently
as if gently pushes us forward;
accompanying and encouraging us
silently from within.
We become aware when we are
an empty receptacle
ready to be filled
with a divine presence.
~text taken from the Gospel of Thomas~
{The Hidden Sayings of Jesus}
This piece of artwork reminds of that once old discovery of the text above. The wine goblet encircled with the grapevine entertwined around the full-bodied goblet of red, red wine. The image is from a Dover Ornaments CD I recently purchased and is colored in using Prismacolor pencils and Mona Lisa Odorless Mineral Spirits applied over to assist with the prevention of wax bloom. I plan to add this to a piece of artwork later, for now I'm simply enjoying creating!
