Mary Magdalene and Sarah
11” x 14”, Oil on canvas board, 2005
Since my previous paintings were about mothers and babies, this Mary Magdalene is a sort of transition into the newer series of Mary Magdalenes. It also helped me establish the color palette that would evolve into the more intense reds and yellows of the paintings that were to follow.
In this painting I seek to portray the sacredness of a moment shared by a mother and her baby, a moment which enlightens them both and lets their souls continue to be one in timeless eternity.

Hi Tanya, this is a beautiful maternal image. Were you inspired by the Virgin Mary at all?
Hi Clarisel! Not really for this one, but I have a few drawings and another painting that are inspired by the Virgin Mary. Thanks for coming to the blog!
Hi, Tanya,
Is the party on yet?

I'm thinking that when you post an image we need to refresh the page, or we won't see it because we'll stay in the old version of the webpage. Can you post a comment letting us know when to refresh? Or if it works in another way,please let me know.

Hi Tanya I'm here waiting for more paitings. I love this one, it's full of tenderness!
Me encanta porque esta Maria Magdalaena se ve Latina. No se porque pero asi la siento . Las flores le dan un contraste y la enredadera en las cabezas de ella y el nino parece una corona de espinas, pero que no duele si no que adorna.
