Members Spider Posted November 14, 2008 Members Report Posted November 14, 2008 This is a piece I am submitting to a gallery for a Virgin Mary celebration. It's 16x20 with a wooden frame.

Bree Posted November 14, 2008 Report Posted November 14, 2008 I like the leathercrafting and woodworking a lot ... very nice job... but I can't say that I like the rendition of the theme. Sorry. Maybe I'm just too old to understand it. Quote Ride Safe! Bree 2003 Dyna Wide Glide Memberships: Iron Butt Association, Niagara Falls HOG, Wild Fire HOG NRA, Niagara County Sportsman's Association

Maybe I'm just too old to understand it. Looks like a Virgin Mary done sort of Dia de Los Muertos style to me. I like it. Quote

Members Spider Posted November 14, 2008 Author Members Report Posted November 14, 2008 Thank you everyone for your comments. My point with this piece is art and as a parent, The pain and rage of a parent. I'm just putting my own feelings as a parent into this piece. I would never want to see my son hurt or killed. This piece expresses my rage if it were to ever happen and my desprate desire to free him if he were being held captive. At the same time, becoming one of the first to "Celebrate" a person after they have passed as with my previous son. My goal is not to offend or even interpret the "Virgin Mary" but instead put myself in her shoes and with my views now and "MY" experiences I've put this onto leather.

Colman Posted November 14, 2008 Report Posted November 14, 2008 Spider, Another cool work of art. Kinda looks like an Egyption Virgin Mary from a distance. Johnny Quote Endeavor to perceiver.
