White

Many have commented that these are not exactly white, and they are not, and I have never painted a 'pure' white stole. Yet a white stole is worn at Christmas and Easter, for Baptisms and Weddings. It is worn to celebrate God's great love for us, a love that is so great that he chose to become human like us. So my white stoles seek to convey all the joy and movement of humanity and creation, of earth and sea and sky. The light cannot be seen or appreciated aside from the dark.

One final thought that was recently shared with me. If the incarnation is about God sharing our humanity on earth, the Ascension is about Jesus taking that humanity back to God in Heaven.
