Pascha Rosatum, acrylic on canvas, 36″x 24″, ©Renee Cooke, 2007
You might remember Renee from our Visions of the Cross exhibit.
In describing her new piece Pascha Rosatum, she says:
This painting is inspired by the Italian celebration of the Pentecost where rosebuds fall from the church ceiling to celebrate and remind us of the Holy Spirit speaking to us with tongues of fire. I therefore have titled it “Pascha Rosatum” meaning “WhitSunday” and “rosatum” for the red colors that are used for the vestments. The flowers symbolize the apostles (you will count 11 of them) with fire upon them from the Holy Spirit (the dove).
