This is an illustration I worked on for 3 months and finished sometime in November 2024. It's called "The Communion of Saints" (pen/ ink/ colored pencil) and gives insights into the history of Monastic and Anchorite practices in Celtic Christianity (within the British isles and Bretagne). It contains highlights from the possible origins of Monastic exiles from the Mediterranean to it's most flourishing achievements as it evolved into regional Celtic Christian practices and philosophy. I also depict some of the Saints and animals associated with the stories of their lives as well as native flowers and some locations in the Celtic Christian landscape.
There is no canvas big enough to tell the full story and even the little addendum text I'm still working on to explain the meaning of all factors found of this image will be too long to post here, but I wanted to share this image with this community for holy Christmas season approaching soon (even if you start Auld Christmas on Jan 6th :).
As for personal copies for purchase; please be patient. I did commission a local print shop to make me 20 or so to sell locally (to me) for a reasonable price. I'm still researching the best options for an online vendor or a print-on-demand vendor as I've had a few folks abroad who have seen my progress photos inquire about getting a print. It is my intention and prayer to have that set up in early 2025 God willing. Once that is established I'll post here again with details, but for now here is a digital image on exhibit. Let me know if you have questions and see if you can identify the Saints!
