An exhibition of oil pastel paintings by Katharine Hall

Waiting on his coming

Waiting in the desert

Held

Held within

Gazed on with tenderness

The window of God’s presence: And a sword shall pierce her heart

Come forth

Resting In The Desert

It was night

Window on God: In the garden

Voices_From_Below

Crown of tears

By the bull rushes of Gethsemane

Tree and Voices

Sacred head sore wounded

A Grief so pure as this…

Dying Stag

Resurrection (for Edward)

Well of tears

Tears in the Underworld

As a grain of wheat falls into the ground

Offering bowl

Moon under the table: Shadow self

Fool dreaming: now the green blade riseth

Embedded Soul

Held in the Universe

Tilled field

By the tender mercy of God the dawn from on high shall break upon us…

Molten Light

Window in her mind

Broken open

Stag Mediator

A fool, a tree, and a peacock in an opened garden

Supposing him to be the gardener…

Returning up river…

Conversation with the lighthouse

…and the next day

Becoming present

Snowdrop

Antimony

Present to…

Waiting on…

Standing in the light

Thomas

Feminine principle: honouring the wound

Descending and ascending: opened gate

Reflected

Glass of Tears

Vase of tears

Descending Grace
