"Mother of mercy and compassion
the one we turn to in time of need.
Compassion toward oneself fosters creativity:
she reminds us to be gentle with ourselves."

What a gorgeous drawing, gemma -so soulful. I really love the red on her lip and the far away expression in her eyes. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful creation and lovely words ~ blessings to you ~ (A Creative Harbor) ^_^ aka 'artmusedog' ^_^
ReplyDeleteI love these hand drawn images of Mary. I never tire of them, and each speaks from the heart of the person creating it. Very nice.
ReplyDeletePeace
Your soul of course has flowed into this painting. She is beautiful. Beautiful words by Michael Babcock. Thanks gemma.

ReplyDeleteshe reminds us to be gentle.. words for the day i think..
Probably one of the most difficult things to accomplish : compassion toward oneself!! a wonderful inspiration .... fosters creativity! thank you
ReplyDeleteSomehow, Gemma, you always make the light shine through. I think it must be the love in your heart that I know is there. xo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quote...your drawings are so accomplished...you make it seem easy! She is wonderfullll♥
ReplyDeleteShe is oh so beautiful. I always say I am not a real artist because I don't draw, but I guess I should diss myself or compare. Thanks for your art today.
ReplyDeleteBeing gentle with ourselves is often so much more difficult than being gentle with others. Why is that?
ReplyDeleteThere is the hint of African here with her delicate eyes and full lips. The stylized halo a hover sun. Very beautiful, Gemma.
ReplyDeleteWoW! The expression shown in her face rivals any Mary...so very beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteSuch a tranquil Mary, but them again she is always tranquil? Take care.
