| Saint Therese of Lisieux Copyright 2013 Addie Hirschten Oil on Canvas 30" x 15" |
This painting depicts Saint Therese as I imagine her... alone in her room as she sits writing "The Story of a Soul." Despite her illness her youthful optimism perseveres. It is dark and dismal yet light is streaming through the window like a beacon of hope.
Love proves itself by deeds, so how am I to show my love?
Great deeds are forbidden me.
The only way I can prove my love is by scattering flowers and these flowers are every little sacrifice, every glance and word, and the doing of the least actions for love.
-Saint Therese of Lisieux
