St. Mark Winged Lion - From Book of Kells
11x14"
Mixed Media
SOLD
First Sale at PSOAE 2015 - the winged lion is the symbol of St. Mark. This particular winged lion is from the Book of Kells, one of the earliest Illuminated Gospel Manuscripts, entirely handwritten and painted around 800 A.D. in either Ireland or Britain. St. Andrews in Mt. Pleasant spent approximately 9 months on the Gospel of Mark and many of my paintings at worship during that time reflected some aspect of either St. Mark or the Gospel attributed to him. A great way to start the day and the show!

Quentin Senise, Publisher
with just a few of the current issue he's giving away!
The weather was great today - highs in the 80's so it was like a freeze compared to the last few days - so pleasant as the 86 of us settled in for an extended stay of 16 days in Marion Square. There was a great tree beside my booth #67 (Meeting Street side near the fountain) that gave great shade and was a favorite for climbing because it was covered with knobs - a great ladder-like effect. However, it must have been dying because the City cut it down. And in it's place is a tent for the Charleston Style and Design Magazine - the latest issue is the Art Issue and manning the tent is no less than the publisher, Quentin Senise, and he's got thousands of this high quality magazine to give away. I can't even miss the shade too much because Quentin is so entertaining - come and get your FREE copy today!
Thank you, Mayor Joe Riley!

Mayor Riley presented the awards for PSOAE 2015 this afternoon, and this was his last time to do so - he's retiring (from Mayoring only). He's been Charleston's Mayor for about 40 consecutive years, being first elected in 1975. He's put Charleston on the map, nationally and internationally, in many ways, and especially in the arts for which we will always be grateful!
