St. Joseph

I am knee deep in drawings of St. Joseph. Here is a Raphael of St. Joseph-- Not my favorite Raphael...Doesn't sing like most Raphael paintings. I love working on church and mausoleum commissions, I get to pretend I am an old master plugging away for a pope or a Medici but in the end it is all hard work and labor with a few moments of hope. St. Joesph is the "father" of christ--at least his "spiritual" father. He was a carpenter by trade--- I am learning more as I go.
