Little Devil Dog ( Dcember, 2008)- This needlepoint is part of a series of works. The Devil poodle from the previous Gallery is included in this group.

St. Lucy (2006)- St. Lucy was an incredibly beautiful woman who planned on entering the convent. A wealthy and powerful man fell in love with her. When she spurned his advances, he had her thrown into a brothel. She came out untouched and pure. This infuriated him. He had her blinded and her eyes healed. His final punishment was to have her executed with a blade through her head. This needlepoint pays tribute to her faith.

The Son of Sam and the Good Book (September, 2008)-It seems that the Son of Sam, David Berkowitz with the help of one of his prison guards has found Jesus. The"Faust" connection ...Hhmmmm. Redemption in the end even after a pact with the Devil. The basis for this image comes from a photo of the two men- Prom tuxes are not involved, but the background is one of those tropical backdrops. ( I had a very similar backdrop for my Junior Prom which prompted my tuxedo vision I suppose.) Is there Redemption for all? Did the Devil make him do it?
