Yeah, the "This is not an apple/This is not a pipe" thing kind of tipped me in that direction, too...not to mention the fact that his style really fits the bill for the kind of imagery I would expect to see coming from Cassie...
You're probably right...I've looked everywhere, it seems, and I can't find anything that even remotely resembles that picture....but I have some free time on my hands, and am REALLY interested in figuring it out...so it's not like I'm stopping any time soon. heh

Could be. but either way, I found it interesting. Maybe it's simply a reminder that "This is not a game"....but that seems too easy.

I've seen about a bazillion Indian paintings, now...in my search. Several have the same style as the chalice picture...I'm not sure how the chalice looks western, especially now...still looking...though I'm running out of work time to do it.

Whoa...in my search for the picture I ran across this. Nothing, something, who knows...It mentions revelations, though...

I think the chalice looks a bit too much like an average Christian communion chalice to be of Hindu origin.

However I'm sure it has been adopted by Indian painters and is quite requent in paintings from the last couple of centuries.

But in the pics I've seen online (Shiva drinking poison or amrita cups) the cups have had another cut to them.

It's really the only lead we have...since I know of no Christian paintings with blue people.

I'm beginning to think it represents the quest for the grail...as in fruitless. sigh. Rolling Eyes

I was googling "painting of cherub holding chalice" and I found this:

The Paintings of Francisco de Herrera, The Elder
The child at the left, holding a chalice, is in rose. The other figures are in neutral tones. Swarthy cherubs with coral-colored cheeks fly about in a ...

Unfortunately I don't have access to the pages so that's all I could come up with but I'm going to keep trying.

I just thought it was interesting that the child on the left is in rose--the color in the picture before it was inverted.

Not sure how much help this will give anyone, but I think maybe if we identify what kind of chalice it exactly is we're looking for, it might do better with the search.

I found this site: http://store.catholicmax.com/church-supplies-chalices.html
It has a whole list (with pictures), of different types of chalices.

I looked through and found a few that were similar, but I wanted to see what everyone else had matched, also.

Hope this does some good! Wink
