I felt like painting.

in an act of exceptional procrastination yesterday I decided I would make some use out of one of the canvases I've had in my closet for a million years. my obsession with the virgin mary served as my inspiration...

pink madonna of the rocks, mixed media, 11x14.

this picture is both brighter & darker than my original... not sure how that happened.

UPDATE:
mini video of said painting after the jump.

my french is not good

in my spare time I've been writing poems dedicated to the virgin mary in french. 
two selections:

la nuit blanche-

c’est froid, mais 

je ne sense rien. 

j’ai vous et j’ai chaud.

*

et vous maman-

et vous etês ici

dans la nuit

blanche 

seul 

blessed be, virgin of guadalupe

The Lady of Guadalupe appeared to Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin in 1531 for three days, culminating in today, The Blessed Day of The Virgin of Guadalupe. Pope John Paul II named her the "Patroness of The Americas" in 1999.

Today is a day to celebrate life, the coming light of the spring, and the blessings of the sacred mother.

Blessed be.
