Lent 2022: the first Seven Stations
I consider these now complete, except for the Fourth Station. That rose will continue to change over time. I’ll revisit the piece next Lent and we’ll see how it faded.
Our Lady of Roses
Christos Anesti!
Seventh Station: Jesus falls the second time
This is the last of the Station encaustics for this year. Blessed Good Friday, everyone.
Sixth Station: Veronica wipes the face of Jesus
Fifth Station: Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus carry His cross
Fourth Station: Jesus meets His Blessed Mother
The vibrancy of this rose won’t last as the plant still has trapped moisture. When it dries with time the rose will fade and crack. I’m dissatisfied to present this as a metaphor for Mary, but creating a piece in one week is the parameter I set at the start of Lent. We’ll see where this WIP ends up.
Third Station: Jesus falls the first time
Second Station: Jesus carries His cross
