Solitude.

A painting of a desert recluse.

Brothers Of The TAU

This painting I am working on is of a Religious Orders of Brothers that use the Greek letter 'Tau'

on their habits.

Note: St. Francis of Assisi marked his very first habit, a peasant's cloak, with

a 'T' in the front with a piece of chalk. He was always fond of the Greek 'Tau'

because of its visual association with the Cross of Christ. In the only handwriting of his

preserved, a blessing he wrote to his dear friend Bro. Leo,  one can see that he signed it with a 'T'.
