Reproduction of Wild Wallflowers IV by Cheri Blum
Cheri Blum — "Wild Wallflowers IV" is a masterful example of contemporary botanical illustration that seamlessly blends the precision of naturalism with the expressive freedom of modern watercolor. The artwork aligns with the tradition of 19th-century botanical studies, yet departs from it through its minimalist composition and soft, impressionistic rendering. Blum's use of a limited, earthy palette—dominated by the warm, deep tones of the central flower and the luminous, translucent wings of the dragonfly—creates a harmonious balance that is both visually soothing and rich in texture. The composition employs an asymmetric balance, with the main floral subject positioned to the lower left, allowing the dragonfly to float diagonally across the upper space, creating a dynamic yet serene visual journey. The negative space is not merely empty but serves as an active element, enhancing the sense of quietude and allowing the viewer's eye to rest. The technique, characterized by fluid washes and subtle gradations, evokes the delicate transience of natural forms, a hallmark of the artist's style. This piece is situated within the broader context of the contemporary revival of botanical art, a movement that celebrates nature's intricate beauty while offering a meditative, contemplative experience. Its interpretive significance lies in its ability to transform a simple floral arrangement into a profound meditation on stillness and the quiet resilience of life.For more art by Cheri Blum click here.

Translation not Literal!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
The fist volume had a more literal translation then the second.
If first Clement and Didache are in your reading list, Shepard of Hermas will fit there too!

At times it has been somewhat repetitive and tedious to read
Format: Hardcover
One of the earliest books in Christianity, The Shepherd of Hermas was probably written around 140AD, and avidly read for the first few hundred years. Likely its failure to become one of the recognized books of the Canon (Bible) had something to do with its fall-off in popularity. Today, while an Apocryphal book from the age of Apostolic Fathers, it seems arcane, and somewhat desultory. Nevertheless, one can see this book as a vision, a dream, or even an attempt to describe elements of purgatory. Both Latin and Greek copies, at least in part have been found, there are also parts missing which make reading it a bit of a challenge. At times it has been somewhat repetitive and tedious to read.
I read the edition and translation from the Greek by Bart D. Ehrman: "The Apostolic Fathers Vol. II" from the Loeb Classical Library. The original author was claimed by some to be the brother of Pope Pius I. It is interesting to have a view into what the Council Fathers were looking at when deciding what to add to the Canon, and what not to add. The probings by our minds, between the dark and the daylight, are not so different a few thousand years later. How is God going to judge me and my sins? What must I do to prepare? What is within my ability and what is not? And where do I fit in His Kingdom?
