Description Here is a painting I did of Mary.
22"x30" watercolor using paints I made.

This is my interpretation in trying to convey the peace, love and wisdom. The make up and jewelry was added as an everyday attire by the common people of the times.
My hope is to convey that though Mary was godly, she did not separate herself from simple daily desires of a woman.

I believe Mary's godliness was a result of spirituality that added to her life. Not the religous rightousness that takes away from life- and does so only in hopes of gaining life after death...by repression and controlling basic human desires during life.

Hi...my extreme apologies...I did not see this till today. Looking at the date...I assume this response is too late...
My name is Roger College and the painting was done in 2010.
I appreciate your questions and hope I didn't make things difficult.
I don't frequent DA nearly as much as I should.
Let me know if you have any other questions...i'll check back frequently.

Roger

Lovely painting.

Somehow she comes off as a typical Jewish mother.
