Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I went on the National Gallery website, but was only able to find a couple of prints for each artist. I was hoping to find 8-12 prints per artist (in a decent sized format) so we can focus on one artist for a few weeks. Also, my son will be in kindergarten this year. Is it too early to start this? Should I wait until the other kids are old enough to do it or should I just keep the prints and recycle the artist in a few years? My son is VERY interested in art and paints and draws all the time.

You could go with the pre-printed art postcards from Dover. Not as much selection, but pretty good and not expensive.

Another approach is to get large coffee style book collections by a particualr artist. It's a good way to get multiple images in a large format.

Recycling is always helpful and reinforces familiarity. Can always be studied at a deeper level in subsequent studies.
