A Modern Mary Magdalen posted 1 april 2005

I don't think I'm religious, I think religion can be a bit irrational at times, anyway (because I sometimes have an ego completely out of control!!!) I had a shot at illustrating the iconic image of the mother Mary with baby Jesus, It seems this image is always designed in a very realist style such as with oils, my approach was a bit different I dotted a canvas with a permanent marker x5... we all go through these stages.
