Back here

I am going to begin writing here again as time permits. Driving under heavy clouds and through falling rain I think I'm sitting at another turning point in my life. I've spent all of June at the art academy but things aren't going as I had imagined. I think I am going to turn the page..

Etsy!

I've decided to start an Etsy store to aid in the selling of my personal homemade greeting cards. Check it out here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/martinrebello. Live in Toronto? Contact me and we can arrange a pick-up/delivery scheme to save you some bucks!

Facebook

I am back on facebook now and am posting my work there. When I have a new piece I will also post it here so don't worry about missing anything! I'm finally finding some time and hope to dive head over heels into a huge commission this week! I'll keep you posted!

St. Lawrence of Rome on a Fork.

Not in the mood for chatting much but I thought I'd share the finished spoons with all of you. Anyone have a kitchen wall in need? These are for sale.

SOLD!

Orchids and Medieval Flowers have sold! I am truly going to miss my gold leaf friends but I know they have gone to a great wall. Goodbye until we meet again.

Fork - In Progress.

St. Lawrence, Patron Saint of cooks, coming soon.

St. Martha of Bethany on a Kitchen Spoon.

St. Martha of Bethany on a Kitchen Spoon. I have chosen to paint her in the gothic, as the style continues to haunt me from my European trips past. I painted her looking to our right. Here we can place ourselves. Imagine her human emotion as she holds the bread, toiling away and catches a glimpse of Mary sitting with Jesus. Blown by evil, accepted by man, the dark clouds roll over her and for a second jealousy, love misunderstood and pride rain down. How often we find ourselves here. How often we compare and try to present our 'Caravaggio'. How often we forget our human frailty. Set your eyes beyond their lids and forever be, glory to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. Amen.
