Work in progress, using a palette with the blue left off. I do that a lot. I just like it that way.

Felix




Felix. Work in progress today.  St. Felix was a third century saint. There is a legend that he hid the persecuted bishop Maximus in a vacant building. Spiders came to his aid and spun webs across the doorway, fooling the centurions into believing no one had passed through that way. The soldiers were diverted and the two prisoners escaped and lived.
My Felix will be showing off his spider specimens. Work in progress by Julie Kwiatkowski Schuler.
