Friendship Selections - "IRISH BLESSING"
Susan Loy of Literary Calligraphy in Moneta, VA, joins text from literary classics or Biblical passages with delicate watercolor images and creates a unique bond between fine art and literature.
"May the road rise to meet you" is perhaps the most famous traditional Irish
blessing:
The often cited source of this blessing is Romans 15: 13, which begins, "Now
the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace..." Susan hand lettered the
texts in English and Gaelic. Borders of interlacing Celtic knots surround
the shamrocks.
The shamrock is the national flower of Ireland, and Irish legend associates
the shamrock with St. Patrick. The word shamrock is anglicized from
Seamrog, which means trefoil, or three-leaved. Botanists are equally
divided as to which plant is the true shamrock, agreeing that it is either
the white clover, Trifolium repens, or the wood sorrel, Oxalis
acetosella. Susan painted both species of shamrock with their bright green
trefoil leaves.
