Ann Horn
What a wonderful devotional image, Lianne. The golden light and the shadows are just beautiful.
Lianne Schneider replied:
Thank you so much Ann - this is a side chapel in the main church in Warwick and we just kind of stumbled on it because we heard evening vespers being sung in the church. What a delightful find it was too. Thank you so much.

Paula Ayers
I saw this art piece and it's title and remembered singing this song many times in churches. Lovely memories to go along with a well-done piece of art. v/f
Lianne Schneider replied:
I can't tell you how much your lovely comment means Paula. I too sang this in the choir when I was young (I can't sing a note now!) but I was just incredibly inspired by this bas relief when I saw it in England. So I'm just so pleased that you liked it. Thank you.

One of the most memorable moments of my one and only trip to England and a memory I cherish. I think I could do greater justice to this now that I've learned a bit more but I'm thrilled that you like it. Thank you Blair
