Vesting Priest with Apparelled Amice
Norman Charles Blamey, 1991

© Stephen Blamey
The celebration of the sacraments is a recurring theme of Blamey's work, which he describes as 'Ecclesiastical' rather than religious painting. This is painted in oils on a panel, but the paint is applied more with a palette knife than a brush.
