This photo was digitally enhanced with a pencil pain effect, and contrast was added so that the different patterns could emerge. The pattern is weak, and not the best I've done, but it was an effective step for learning how to combine various patterns with one another in a meaningful way. It is not the traditional viewing that we have come to expect of Mother Mary as Catholics-I believe that the image is somewhat matronly than it is motherly-nor do the clothing which Mary wears remind us of humility. Rather it is an attempt to show the wisdom and cunning of Mary as the Mother of God. Such a focus is not traditional, but not impossible. Regardless, it is hoped that the picture be for some an force of inspiration-if only in how various colors should probably not be mixed together.
