Twelve Mornings with Mary - Day 6

Today, I bring a modified painting I did of Mary three years ago.  I don't know why I was painting Mary three years ago.  It wasn't what I had done in my "semi-professional" painting life.  I used to do murals, and stage scenery, and underwater seascapes, that sort.  It was a sudden jump to Madonna paintings, without even a thought.  It was only today, thinking what I could post for a morning with Mary, that I even considered all this.  But so many changes have happened in my life, I suppose this was pre-destined.  If one believes in pre-destiny.  I'm not sure. 

 
 
As I was changing Mary around from her original state, I  wanted to add a tear for my Teardrop line of art.   But as I was working, I had the tv on, and Today was interviewing that lady who lost her three young girls in a fire last Christmas season.  I began to cry (can't help it), because I so know how she felt and still feels.  So I thought perhaps Mary today could just look solemn, as if she might be about to pray for those who have lost loved ones and feel it extra strong during holidays.  So many need you Mary.  I hope you are real, and that you feel and accept that need.

  2. Dear Judie, Her Presence is Real and my prayer for you is that you may feel Her Presence with you as she heals your heart. It is such a poignant painting - life is a mystery - more than that we can never understand.

  3. She's really beautiful, Judie - her inner strength, in spite of her vulnerability, is evident. I've heard that when painters paint, they are painting themselves. If this is true, you are certainly a most beautiful woman!

    Mary is as true and valid as your experience of Her.

  6. She's lovely -- but what is most special about this post is reading the story of how she came to be and what she means to you. This consecrates her!

  11. Very lovely and what great synchronicity that you re-chose her for day 6. Sounds like you are a highly sensitive person (from Aron's work) as am I.
