After painting βWeβre all just walking each other home,β I had a hectic schedule for about a month. Bill kept asking me what I would paint next, and I would shrug, knowing I had time before returning to the studio. I made sure I had some quiet time built into the travel schedule, and, sure enough, during a time of contemplation, it was laid on my heart. βPaint a Mary Magdalene icon. Paint the many faces of her. A series.β
I was resistant at first, but one of my 2024 intentions is, no matter what, to say yes to what Spirit lays on my heart. There is much more to the story of my relationship with MM. I will say she surprised me. She emerged as I painted her. Her face has changed each time Iβve sat with this painting. But art is about the viewer's experience, so I invite you to sit with her, listen, and maybe be surprised as well. ππΌπ¬οΈπ
