I like it a lot. I recently read Fr. Albert Dolan's book, "We Knew Matt Talbot". In that book Fr. Dolan interviewed a number if people who knew Matt. One thing he would do is show them different paintings of Matt to see which they thought was closest to the "real" Matt and it was the one in the top right on this link by St. Cecelia. When Fr. Dolan would show the different images he had collected of Matt Talbot to people who know him they said that the one by Sister Cecelia in the top right in this link was the most accurate. The only thing they said that was wrong was that he was usually smiling..... <br /><br />http://venerablematttalbotresourcecenter.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html<br /><br />Like your other work, I will get this put on canvas and place it near your other one where out Calix unit meets in Philadelphia.<br /><br />Thanks again and good to hear from you!<br /><br />Ken Johnston<br />Former President, The Calix SocietyKen Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13693458006600226374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8295039797599186115.post-41389580511430210832014-05-12T15:13:00.152-07:002014-05-12T15:13:00.152-07:00Thank you Lord for blessing Terry not only with ar...Thank you Lord for blessing Terry not only with artistic talent but with the willingness use it to your honour and to share it.owenswainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00540186205959897960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8295039797599186115.post-71646667748712681972014-05-12T02:59:38.764-07:002014-05-12T02:59:38.764-07:00I loveeeee your Matt Talbot painting!

Dear Terry,
Thank you for your inspired painting...<br />Dear Terry,<br /><br />Thank you for your inspired painting of the Venerable. You have captured a real sense of serenity in Matt’s face which speaks to us of the depth of spiritual advancement and maturity reached by Matt through prayer and his triumph over addiction.<br /><br />The darker shadows of his earlier life is seen to be illuminated by the light which surrounds the young man as he peers into the canal in contemplation of his life at the moment of his conversion when he is also filled with God’s grace.<br /><br />I like this painting very much and I look forward to seeing how you will portray Matt as a young man.<br /><br />God bless<br /><br />Fr. Brian Lawless<br />Vice postulator for the cause of Ven. Matt Talbot<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
