On a recent trip to visit family, I came across a book in my grandma’s library (a tiny bedroom stacked full of books) about Montserrat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montserrat_(mountain) where part of our group visited during the trip to Barcelona.
In the book was a picture of a monk’s cell. It was small, simply furnished with a bed and desk, terra cotta tiles on the floor and white walls with nothing on them but the words Ora et Labora. Wondering what this meant, I googled it, and found Ora et Labora means Pray and Work (or attentive work).
So, that is what I’ve been practicing and painted/collaged these. I’m not sure what I’ll do with them next, but that’s the beauty of art, not knowing the answer or the end result.
