Bearing the Light
These illumined figures are part of my newest series, “Bearing Light”. They incorporate raw linen, which is distressed and then applied to canvas or board and painted in oils.

Bearing the Light of Being
Light enters, filling empty spaces,
Opening heart with untold graces,
The shadowed path illumined now,
In Light we see Light.

On View: Bearing the Light of Being by Camilla Brunschwyler Armstrong, Oil on canvas, 2006, 22" x 18". St. John’s Episcopal Church – Montgomery, AL, camillaarmstrong@aol.com
