AN EXCERPT:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 How do you paint a portrait of a saint?\u00a0 One answer: you leave bits out.<\/p>\n

You paint Saint Sebastian on the tip of the arrow, John\u2019s head upon a plate, Mary stunned by the light of of the angel. You don’t\u00a0 paint Sebastian brushing off dandruff, John yelling at his local baker, Mary spanking JC, saying, \u201cYou just think you\u2019re God\u2019s gift\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Portraits of Tim DeChrisophter will naturally verge on hagiography.<\/p>\n
