Mary's Garden

This is an original 8"x10" watercolor painting on watercolor paper. The original is signed by the artist on the front and back, and comes with a personal note from the artist. Frame not included.

When you are close to the tenderness of our Lady, you will be undefeated. Mary championed over the sorrow of the garden. She was unafraid of the thorns that would pierce the very forehead of her beloved Son. She redeemed the fruit Eve grasped at and invites us back into the intimacy of the garden. She is fearless. She is unafraid of your sin or hardship. She is reaching out into our lives freely.

May you be close to Jesus and Mary today. May you be astounded by their closeness to you today!

This piece was inspired by a work by my favorite illustrator, Jessie Wilcox Smith.
