mary and "she saw through the night by the light from her crown of stars" are now available in my shop. i think this print of mary is my favorite yet, it's amazing how much it looks like the original.
this painting is based on a superstition of flowers on a boat being bad luck. when i was painting it i couldn't remember if i had read that they were good or bad, it was just the imagery that i was fascinated with. to me it evokes ideas of hope and loss and just feels like a story and feels like it must mean something. and now that i've painted it i'm just in love with the idea of things that are beautiful being bad luck, a new series of work in that.
