St Peter The Rock. 2020 by Stephen B. Whatley

Saint Peter The Rock...a tribute in charcoal by expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley created with prayers today, February 22,2020, known as the Feast of The Chair of St Peter.

The Feast commemorates the mission of teacher and pastor bestowed upon Peter The Apostle by Jesus Christ. Saint Peter is often portrayed with 'the keys to Heaven'.

Stephen B. Whatley is a devout Catholic convert and his deep faith has its root in his fight to survive the early tragic loss of his mother; to whom there is a tribute page on his website.

The British artist often feels what he calls a 'Divine Push' to paint tributes to Jesus, Our Lady & The Saints on significant landmark years or Feast Days - like today - and to share them.

Dependent on prayer, especially to the Holy Spirit - his 2013 exhibition at London's Westminster Cathedral was called "Paintings From Prayer".

The eclectic work of Stephen B. Whatley is in collections worldwide & public collections including BBC Heritage, London Transport Museum, Newman University (UK), Westminster Cathedra and The Royal Collection of HM Queen Elizabeth II - whilst his series of 30 paintings commissioned by the Tower of London in 2000 are permanently reproduced throughout Tower Hill Underpass, outside Tower Hill Station - the main entrance to the Tower of London.

Blessings of strength, courage, peace and security through Saint Peter & The Rock, Jesus ~
