It's Confirmation time again, which meant the church was in need of decorating. I had drawn out different kinds of fruit and presents to represent the 9 fruits and 7 gifts of the Holy Spirit. I got the kids that are making their Confirmation to colour and paint them, in my absence.
There was still the problem of designing the altar. This year flowers were going to be arranged around the altar. However, this meant that the pulpit was bare. The original idea was to buy an already made banner or poster. I could not find one which left me with no choice but to paint one myself.
I used stretched canvas (3ft) and acrylic paint. And for some bizarre reason I left it until the last minute to actually paint, even though I had the canvas for just over a week.

By this stage I had already transfered the dove onto the
canvas. I don't think you can spot it though.
