dc maria (finished version, i think)


ok, Maria... 
if you drive around in belgium you'll come across many small catholic chapels,
many of them dedicated to a most famous Maria.
each and every chapel with it's own inscription;
Maria (our lady) of the roses
                                                                                      of the dry tree
                                                                                      of  the white branch
                                                                                      of the seven sorrows
                                                                                      of the secret garden
                                                                                      of the cherry tree
                                                                                      of the hill , etc.
                      to me they sound fairy-tale like  and i wonder.... and think up stories, i see pictures.
                     

                    a few weeks ago, sitting in the car, passing another number of chapels i was wondering 
                    would there also be somewhere 'our lady of the owls' and in a flash  the above image
                    was born in my mind.
                   i had already started painting it when dear Patrice came up with this week's theme,
                  well, here she is Maria (of the owls).


                     this Maria came also to my mind

                    thanks for your patience :)   x
