Mary 
Oil paint on canvas paper, 8x10" painting in 11x14" matted frame
 
This painting embodies the heart of Mary, a woman enthralled and captivated by the presence of Jesus. Even in our seasons of darkness, even when the cost of surrender is high, may we know that there is nothing else... no one else worthy of it all. 
 
"A woman came to Jesus with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table. When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. “Why this waste?” they asked. “This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor.” Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me." (Matthew 26:6-10)
