My daughter, Monet, posed as Mary for me this week between Christmas and New Year's. I dressed her in some fabric that I had around my art studio. She inspired the drawings shown in the photos. I have much more to do, but this is how it all begins; with charcoal studies drawn from life. For me, Monet was the right model and I'm excited to be working on this painting of “Mary, Ark of The New Covenant.”

On December 5, 2014, Bernadette and Pat met with Artist James Sulkowski to discuss the details of the painting he has been commissioned to complete, "Mary, Ark of The New Covenant." This image will be displayed and venerated during the Family Eucharistic Holy Hours (FEHH). During their visit, they also presented James with a copy of "Out of This World Recipes & Morsels of Mercy" cookbook/prayer book and "The Diary of St. Faustina." Upon competition of the painting of "Mary, Ark of The New Covenant," James will begin to paint the image of "Jesus, The Divine Mercy" to also be used in the FEHH.

For over a year, JTDMF prayed to have an artist paint both the image of Jesus - The Divine Mercy and Mary, Ark of The New Covenant.
