How Great Thou Art

When I travel I enjoy visiting and taking photo of churches. I’m able to thank God for giving me the blessings I’m experiencing on my travels. Plus, I get the benefit of bringing back stories about the different churches.

This silver cross was in a shop in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. I loved the simplicity of it. I was tempted to purchase it. I’m fond of religious items from all denominations. When I inquired about the price, I decided to reconsider. Price: $350.00 American Dollars.

Church in Costa Rica 2015©photography by Isadora DeLaVega

This is a church in Costa Rica. It is across from the town center in the middle of town. Our guide gave us a great deal of time inside this one. There is beautiful stained glass on the walls throughout. It reminded me of the church I attended as a child. I will post more photos soon. The alter was majestic.

As we wandered through the rainforest in Costa Rica with our guide, we came across this little chapel. It was tiny but had a sacred holiness that was felt from the minute I entered. A perfect place to express the gratitude I felt to have been be able to enjoy his earthly creations I was seeing that day.

******* Portrait – ‘A Red-Header Day’ is a lithography, created as a surprise gift for me, by

Award Winning Artist Linda Molto.

There are only 32 of them of which the artist has #1 and I #2.

As of our last conversation, 25 had been sold.

For me, it was an honor to have been selected to be one of her subject matters.

The title refers to the bright orange-red hair I wore when I started exhibiting at art shows.

It was my branding for my dedicated customers to find me among the many artists exhibiting.

I hope the people who have purchased them are enjoying my image on their walls.
