Publisher's Synopsis
(6 Cards Individually Bagged W/ Envelopes & Header) "Unable to grasp God's essence, we seek help in words, in names, in animal forms, in figures, in trees and flowers, summits & sources." Maximus of Tyre Many years ago we gave the great English calligrapher and illustrator Marie Angel a selection of quotations. They were all of spiritual import. She studied them and finally selected this small group, saying, "I see these. I can find visuals for these, and I can make the words fit within them." We are proud to present her resultant exquisite paintings as a series of inspirational greeting cards. "In this light my spirit soon saw through all things; and in all creatures, in herb & grass, knew God who he is how is & what is his will." Jakob Böhme Many years ago we gave the great English calligrapher and illustrator Marie Angel a selection of quotations. They were all of spiritual import. She studied them and finally selected this small group, saying, "I see these. I can find visuals for these, and I can make the words fit within them." We are proud to present her resultant exquisite paintings as a series of inspirational greeting cards. The images reflect Angel's unique ability to capture the power and beauty of the natural world in a reflective, tranquil tone. The accompanying quotations - rendered in Angel's lovely calligraphy as an integral part of the each image - are from a diverse group of authors familiar and less so including Walt Whitman, John Dryden, Christina Rossetti, and Dostoyevsky.
