Goodbye St. Catherine

Sketch removed because the artist thought it was too crappy




Well, I don't particularly like this sketch, but it is the only one that I did tonight so I will post it. This is my sketchy copy of Caravaggio's St. Catherine of Alexandria. I don't think she is the same Catherine that my school was named after (I think that one is French), but she is a St. Catherine nonetheless, so she could have a kinship with the correct one. I don't think I would like to be saint. To be a saint, one would have to act all saintly and where's the fun in that? I don't even really respect saints as they seem to just be the self righteous types who go around thinking "I have suffered so--now make me a saint." Or maybe not. Sometimes they have schools named after them, but schools are places of suffering, so who wants to bear the responsibility of making students suffer from generation to generation? Not me. I think there was a St. Anne or two that suffered at some point in our world's history. They can bear the torch. I will continue to behave in a non saintly manner. I will end this post by saying : Goodbye St.Catherine. It's been a long journey and you have made me suffer from time to time, but mostly you have been o.k.. Leaving you is somewhat bittersweet, but mostly I'm ready to move on and let other worship at your altar.
