Artist's Comments

Few remember her story let alone her name. The woman who would go to any ends to have a child and carry the line of Judah. No one would have predicted how literally that would become.

The full story is here: [link]

This is an early study for a series dedicated to her.

Beautiful expression. Good idea to keep one eye mysterious.

I find myself wanting to see a lighter patch of tone in the lower left corner or left side to visually balance the light area of the face.

A lovely portrait. A poignant story. A woman of integrity.

What a delight this is! All this inventing, this producing, takes place in a pleasing, lively dream.

A very courageous woman, and a very very beautiful piece which stands out dramatically. :)
Wonderful, intense colour. Just amazing emotion captured. :heart:

Your work always seems to evoke a part of my spirituality I thought I had been steadily leaving behind.

As a cradle Catholic, I had moved on to enjoy more secular belief, and have delved into many different "religions" to define myself. While I still follow other paths, I have found a new closeness with my birth religion and beliefs due to your beautiful works.

Your work not only moves the soul, but it thrives and it teaches in very small amounts, things that were never spoken of when I was a child. It brings a new interest to a tired belief.

Thank you for sharing the art that is within you.

This comment means more to me than you know...but maybe you do. I can't thank you enough for sharing that. When days come when I get discouraged, I am going to read this. Thank you for reminding me why I do what I do....for I often forget
