Leaf Man

Man becomes one with nature

Man becomes one with nature

This drawing of a leaf man is from a photo I took in Barcelona, Spain. It was a relief sculpture on the side of a building.

In photoshop I added a photo of the woods near the Suwannee River, a beautiful location in Florida.

Featuring Br. Paul’s oil and watercolor paintings, and a few select local artists
including Deanna Gray

Brother Paul Tennis, OSB is originally from New York City.  After his time in the US Navy during World War II, he became a graphic artist in Florida. In 1955, Brother Paul joined the monastic community of Benedictine Monks at Saint Leo Abbey where he put his artistic skills to wonderful use, hand-carving the entry doors to the Abbey’s Church of the Holy Cross, and creating the stained-glass windows within the Abbey church as well as several other churches throughout Central Florida. Brother Paul’s work ranges from tranquil scenes around the Abbey grounds, to seascapes from his time in the Navy, to trains and beyond.

Several dozen select pieces will be available for sale.

Hope to see you there!
