Dear Friends,

Below you will find the Second Station of the Cross. This will be on exhibit at the Blackfriar's Gallery in Berkeley, California. This show will be starting on August 22nd through January 12th, 2013. Originally, I started painting on this work first in the Stations of the Cross Project. I kept this one and started on another piece as I was getting into a rhythm for the series. Along with this work, I would like to share with you all some more of the images from the permanent installation at Saint Thomas Aquinas Catholic Center at Purdue University. You will also find amongst the photos some of the preliminary sketches that I used in forming my ideas for the Stations.

The space for the show can be seen on my website, www.katieschmid.com, or at the Dominican School's website http://www.dspt.edu/. We very much hope that you will make it out to the show.
