Christmas 2010


Saint in Gothic Frame, Terry Nelson, Acrylic on wood panel (3" x 1.5"). 2010

Years ago I found these wonderful resin frames which enclosed a small mirror. I removed the mirror and used the frames for reliquaries and small panels with painted copies of images of the saints from famous Florentine altar pieces. In this case I embellished the frame with crystals.

Magnificent, Terry. I appreciate how resourceful and inventive you were when executing this piece. Is this a specific saint?

Thanks Tom. Yes - it is St. Catherine of Alexandria.
