Since I signed up to be in this month's Art Walk, I have been working on a few new pieces to put up for sale. The first one is of Mary Magdalene. She has always been fascinating to me because of the Gnostic text's indication that she was the wife of Jesus. I love that story and that is why I chose to paint her. The egg is a symbol of rebirth and new life, it is also traditionally a symbol of the boulder in front of the tomb of Jesus. In more recent times it has become the symbol of Mary Magdalene carrying the "seed" or egg of Jesus's lineage. I really like this painting.
The next one is of a goddess or female figure in the style of the old neolithic cave paintings. The spirals are symbols of the cycles of life and the seasons. The triple spiral is a symbol of the Triple or Three-fold Goddess, the Maiden, Mother, and Crone. I am really happy with the colors in this one.
I hope they are well received at the Art Walk. :)
Saturday was David's birthday, his mom and step father came up from Atlanta to visit. It was good for Sophie to get to see her grandparents.
And this is my beautiful friend, Mari. We had a fun day at the lake last week and I snapped this shot of her relaxing. Just lovely.
