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.
