Mary's Gift

I will forever be intrigued by this beautiful imagery of the Mother and Child. The intimacy of this relationship cannot be described. The closeness felt as a mother to this new life is as strong as any thread found in the universe. We protect and ultimately sacrifice our child to the world. I wondered as I painted this scene what Mary might have thought while holding her very special son. I have never lost my love of the the Madonna and all the love she represents.
