Tablut

Tablut was a game played on reindeer skin by the Sami people in Lapland. It is a variation of the ancient Germanic and Celtic board games known as Tafl. The one depicted in the painting was given to me by my son Gabriel, who is the player on the left. This painting is available through the David Klein Gallery in Birmingham, MI.

Also available as a fine art print. Click here for more information.

Fr. Edward Prus

This is my portrait of Fr. Edward Prus, who enjoys senior clergy status at St. James parish in Ferndale, MI. It will be auctioned in April to benefit St. Raphael parish in Garden City, MI, where Fr. Prus was once pastor. I posted a study for this last July. Scroll down to see it. You can see all my portraits at my website, Charles Pompilius Portraits.
