Another Madonna, Our Lady of the Canyon; I believe those are some Flapper Era tourists at Pike's Peak. The sky background is my own photograph. Again, the whole image is collaged on metallic tissue paper shapes which reflect what I was doing in my abstract paintings at that time. If you scroll back to the photo of my angel costume on March 7th, you'll see I used the same technique to make those gorgeous wings.

Maureen,
ReplyDeleteOne time I had a commission for the Sports Hall of Fame at Georgetown University. I had to paint decorative lettering around the room and gold leaf it. I was working on scaffolding. An older woman student would come in and check my progress. It turns out that she was a nun. She kept trying to get me to apply to a Catholic foundation for the making of sacred art and holy cards!
