In essence what living has given to me begins to unfold within the body of Religious paintings.</div> <bR> <div> Each painting is a personal statement. Most of the figurative images were composed with the cooperation and patience of a dear friend as model. The Catholic Church has been a focal point in my life, whereby my faith is enriched through the sacraments. So I was not surprised when the series of paintings began with highlights of the Mass as a primary theme.          </div> <bR> <div> Today, I sense the world bleeding for Peace, Justice and Forgiveness. The search for completeness seems endless. I think discovery comes from within our own being. To value prayer and the silent quality of the moment is a powerful, meaningful gift, dependent on our willingness to give. Thus, I share with you spiritual art - a voice from the heart.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>The  Father's  Kiss ~ Vatican Story</B></div> <bR> <div> The original painting from which this print has been produced was hand carried from the United States to Rome and ultimately to The Vatican by Beverly. For security reasons, she placed the painting into the hands of a Diocesan Bishop and the Monsignor who then presented the oil to Pope John Paul II via his personal secretary.</div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> Home | <A HREF="aboutbeverly.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="About Beverly"><U>About Beverly</U></A> | <A HREF="recentworks.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Recent Works"><U>Recent Wo</U></A><A HREF="recentworks.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Recent Works"><U>rks</U></A> | <A HREF="prints.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Prints"><U>Prints</U></A> | <A HREF="pastworks.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Past Works"><U>Past</U></A><A HREF="pastworks.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Past Works"><U> Works</U></A> | <A HREF="galleries.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Galleries"><U>Galleries</U></A> | <A HREF="upcomingevents.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Upcoming Events"><U>Upcoming Events</U></A> | <A HREF="exhibitions.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Exhibitions"><U>Exhibitions</U></A> | <A HREF="contactbeverly.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Contact Beverly"><U>Contact Beverly</U></A></div> <bR> <div> © 2005-2008, Beverly Klucher, All Rights Reserved</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
