You might be familiar with his blog, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.romeofthewest.com\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Rome of the West<\/a>, where he features a lot of his fantastic work. Breathtaking stuff like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/msabeln\/2236424173\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">this<\/a> and the image below. I rather like this photo of The Apotheosis of St. Louis. It\u2019s very handsome and would look quite manly matted and framed on some library wall.      <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8066\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8066\" style=\"width: 474px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/66\/2012\/11\/2012-11-29_1030.png\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/66\/2012\/11\/2012-11-29_1030.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"2012-11-29_1030\" width=\"474\" height=\"595\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8066\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8066\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u201cThe Apotheosis of Saint Louis\u201d \u2013 The bronze sculpture depicting Saint Louis IX, King of France, and is located atop Art Hill in front of the Saint Louis Art Museum in Forest Park.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Personally, I love his floral photography. The vivid color and detail remind me of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0756652502\/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">old botany sketchbooks<\/a> we used in art school. If I had the money I\u2019d purchase a bunch of the 4\u00d75 prints, put them in simple white frames, and artfully display the gallery on my bedroom wall. <\/p>\n<p>At $4 bucks a pop for each print you can easily make these photos into a nice personal gift for the budding botanist or nature lover of the family. If you order using the discount code <strong>Crescat<\/strong> you\u2019ll also receive a 10% discount off your purchase. Talk about a great deal for a little visually stunning pretty! <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/66\/2012\/11\/2012-11-29_1043.png\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/66\/2012\/11\/2012-11-29_1043.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"2012-11-29_1043\" width=\"450\" height=\"314\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8067\"><\/a>  <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2026 Looking for something beautiful to decorate your walls?
