Last week while I was doing yoga in my studio I looked down at my leg and saw a green thread and a blue thread on my brown pants. “Wow”, I said out loud “great colors.”
So I knew the colors of my next streaming pillow ( I added the pink when I started to run out of blue and what a good thing it turned out to be). And when I walked into the studio this morning the words ” in the full light of the moon, i saw the shooting star” came to me. I started with the words and the figure came next. When I was done with her, I thought “She’s pretty cool”. It wasn’t until I was half way done that I found myself writing “cowgirl madonna” down her right leg.
When told Jon the title he asked what it meant. I said I didn’t know. And I didn’t, until I read Mary Muncil’s blog this morning. She wrote about a new way of doing and seeing things. She quoted Isaiah 43:19 about making a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Sounds like something a spiritual cowgirl would take on, to me.
I’m wondering when you might branch out and perhaps try a vest? Or a Tibetan panel coat?
I still find myself in awe when I see a piece of art and I have an overwhelming sense that “I am not alone” someone out there feels or sees things in the same light…Great piece Maria! Thank you so much for sharing your gift.
I love that too Sandra!
This is stunning! I love the stars on her feet and hands. It is mystical and spiritual without being creepy. I can’t wait to see your streaming pieces at you show.
Oh thanks Fran, I’m really happy with it too and having so much fun making all the work for the show.
I understand “Cowgirl Madonna”. It speaks to me. xoxo Terah
