Virgin Mary

This was a special request - and I'm not sure why I've never made Mary before. She's so cute in her simplistic style.

Her arms are 'dimensional' meaning that I have painted several layers to build up the paint, rather than just paint the outlines. Her robes are edged in gold and covered in a blanket of golden stars. Her hands are held in meditative prayer, and her eyes are softly closed.

This was my first religious icon that I have ever worked with - a wee bit intimidating!
