Motherhood and Mary are subjects that show up a lot in my work. I often depict Mary in what I imagine her to look like in her older years. But recently, a younger Mary has been appearing on my work table. This particular canvas had been prepped for months. I had applied modeling paste, and wrote the word "love" out. But nothing was inspiring me, so there it sat.
Last night, I decided to just wing it. As I looked at the layered paint, my "Mystele "gut art" lessons" came to me. I saw a figure in the creases of paint. I saw the veil, then the face. It all flowed with ease, and this young beautiful Mary, vulnerable, and full of grace, emerged through the rough background.
I hope someone out there loves her as much as I do :)
