Bro. Cletus Behlmann, a Marianist artist, arrived in San Antonio in 1977 and opened the St. Mary's University Art Center. Over the years patrons have come to recognize the distinctive "Cletus Style".
Creativity and imagination abound in his works. There is hardly a colour on the palette that he does not use. Vibrant colours race across the canvas. Cletus is shockingly productive and works in a variety of media: acrylics, watercolour, stained glass, pastels, handmade paper, collages, linoleum prints, ceramics, crayolas, and others.
The themes range from religious to folk art to abstract with an overall feeling of a celebration of life. Cletus has traveled and painted in much of the United States, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Taipei, Bangkok, Mexico, Central America and most of the countries of Europe. It is with great joy that I am able to put brush to canvas and discover a world of my own making.
I am most grateful for the gift of creating art that has been given to me.
These Watercolours have been special commissioned for "A Touch of Art Gallery" by the Artist Bro. Cletus for the opening celebration of the "Cowdray Ruins" when he just visited us on 22/03/07.
This is a one off opportunity to own a Limited Edition Watercolour of this big opening of the Ruins on 30/03/07
