Mary
Not exactly a portrait (imaginary), but appropriate for the season.
FortonMG with a bronze facing, 22 inches tall high relief.
Hope you all have the best Holiday season ever and are surrounded by dear friends and family.

Infusing Humanity into Tradition
Heidi -
I love the combination of a traditional format with the untraditional facial expression - puts so much humanity into it..
You do such wonderful work! Thanks for sharing this.

Oh, Heidi, I agree so much with Julie.....this has such a refreshing "new" look of an age-old depiction. A serious but calm resolve of the lady who bore the One who would bring hope and peace. It looks as thought she is pondering, "What is to become of my son?"
You continue to just blow me away! 
Merry Christmas to you and yours......

Wow, that is awesome! This invokes childhood memories. Growing up, prints and statues of the Virgin Mary were prominent in our home (typical of many Hispanic households). This is a wonderful rendition of a time honored subject.
Merry Christmas,

Very beautiful Heidi. I like the way you have the bronze selectively highlighting the ridges of hair around her face. Reminds me of lost and found edges. Thanks for posting this.
