Our Lady's Lullabyeby ~anelphia

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Illustrations / Storybook

Finally finished one of the drawings in my folder. It is an illustration of Sr. Alice Josephine's poem to baby Jesus. Full view for a better look. Here I have depicted the Blessed Mother using the moon as a rocking chair as she sings the poem to the baby Jesus as a lullabye to rock Him to sleep.I tried to make the letters look like gold but my success was limited. In case you can't read it I'll post it below.
"Sleep, O Sleep My Lovely Babe
For Angels Guard above
And Joseph too doth watch with tenderness and love
Sleep O Sleep Dear Little One
How bright Thy beauty grows
O sleep my King, My God
For here Love holds thee close."

/This is so lovely and tender. I can imagine that Mary had many lullabyes to sing to her little Son.

Thank you.Yes she probably did. I can imagine them as being the sweetest ones ever sung by any mother, being that she is the fairest and loving of all mothers.

I like it!

Text is a bit hard to read though. How did you do that?

~anelphia Oct 4, 2011

Thanks. Yeah, I was trying to make it look like the song was made out of golden letters but the color I chose I guess was too dark more so in some places than others. I used artrage, worte the letters out with the pencil tool and then painted over it.
