"Come near my children, do not be afraid, I am here to tell you the good news."
These were Mary's first words to two children
when she appeared at La Salette in the French
Alps, on September 19, 1846.

About Me
- Joan Grayson
- I retired from my position as a Registered Nurse on a busy Geriatric Psychiatry unit at a teaching hospital in Connecticut. In July, 2009, I moved to St. Petersburg, FL, and now I have time for family, church and art. I feel so very blessed. I am a portrait artist and I paint people, animals and sacred art. I have had no formal training in art and prior to October, 2001, I didn't know how to mix paint, let alone draw. At that point I was given the gift of creativity and I have been painting ever since. Animals, especially cats, are my frequent subjects. But I also love to paint Jesus, the saints and Mary. I have been inspired by the great masters including ElGreco, Rembrandt, Botticelli, Degas, Van Gogh and others. What a joy it is to paint from their masterpieces. On these blogs I am sharing my art with you. If you would like to use any of my sacred art images, please contact me.

What a talent, and no formal training~unbelievable! My 30 year-old daughter went to art school and is a very gifted artist. Of course, she manages a Karate for a living, but hopefully some day she'll have time to paint.
Beautiful work! I'm following you, so I can see your new masterpieces as you post them.
Thank you, Holly, for your wonderful comments and for following my blog. I loved your blog and I enjoyed reading your posts. I'll check it often. We are both so lucky to have discovered blogging as a way of sharing our faith with others.
