Mary’s Tears
March 1, 2010
The last few days I’ve been working on this art piece in my digital art program. It’s my first try at this kind of look and seemed like a good Lenten project.
Late last November we had rain and, looking out the window, I saw how beautiful the raindrops were on the nandina bushes. The sight made me think of Mary’s tears at the cross, so I took my small digital camera out and snapped a few shots. Finding an area on one that I liked, I cropped it and painted the image. Then through other digital machinations I finished the image, wrote the poem and voila!
If you want to share this with others, please link to this post, credit me and leave a comment here. I’d like to know if it is worthwhile for me to make more of these kinds of images. God bless you, readers.
