Description
It is is my first oil painting in more then 10 years. so be kind."Just think about that strange, incredible, unbelievable faith of a young girl. At fourteen years old she became the Mother of God and the Mother of men. She knew full well that people would not understand that she had conceived by the Holy Spirit. For a long time after her marriage to Joseph she must have been the talk of the town. In those days the women used to wash their linens in ponds. When she brought her linen I'm sure people began to whisper about her. I can just see those gossipy women. But Our Lady never said anything. She was the woman wrapped in silence. "

ok.. I'm gonna give my opinion.. but.. don't be to freaked out.
OK! I love the brush strokes.. (Yes.. I've a thing for brush strokes.. It's my sisters fault.) I like the colours.. The blue offset by the burst of red. Keeps it from being to calm in my opinion. It gives me the feeling of water during a storm.. and her drowning. So.. I like it!

Well I am glad you do. And you can be frank with me, I think we are past that. You can honestly tell me what you think.

I just think I'm very negative in what I see right now. So please bear that in mind.. But visual art I can easily see and explain.. While written art I can't. Don't know why that is. =\

yes the lighting is nice but i love the color contrasts (color on black/white) of the hair. The last oil paiting i did... was burned
so take heart. Good work-'measuring the past assumes the future'-the end of architecture

you need to do more in oil. this is beautiful. Love the hair around the face. That face is very sensitive. I really like how the hair is also not hair, but subtling pulling at the face.

Well thank you I was attempting a mild surrealistic tone. but wasn't sure if that is where it belonged.
