Happy Mother's Day I actually finished this on time, somewhere between 3-4 in the morning I guess I was just really determined..This is the design of Mary's gown I came up with after several idea's and attempts like this one here :[link] I tried my best to give it a medieval/renaissance and I have to say that I am very proud of Mary's and baby Jesus' handsSomething I would like to point out about this piece is that, I know it can be seen very well but baby Jesus is clutching onto a sheer handkerchief Anyways I dedicate this piece to Mary on Mother's Day. The most important person on earth is a mother. She cannot claim the honor of having built Notre Dame Cathedral. She need not. She has built something more magnificent than any cathedral— a dwelling for an immortal soul, the tiny perfection of her baby’s body. The angles have not been blessed with such a grace. They cannot share in God’s creative miracle to bring new saints to heaven. Only a human mother can. Mothers are closer to God the Creator than any other creature. God joins forces with mothers in performing this act of creation. What on God’s good earth is more glorious than this—to be a mother? Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty and of course much more, Happy Mother's Day
This is so awesome! I love the tenderness between Mary and Jesus. I love it! "Lovely Lady dressed in blue" is one of my favorite poems. Bishop Sheen of TV fame years ago used to recite it.
Thank you!!!!"Lovely Lady dressed in blue" is one of my favorites too, so is Bishop Sheen, I love watching him. The funny thing is I didn't have a title for this piece and when I finished painting Mary's dress I remembered the poem quoted by Bishop Sheen and I was like,"thats my title"
