I imagine Mary,heavy with the CHILD, JESUS going out to be alone under the moonlit sky while everyone is sleeping, Her little friends bringing her comfort.
I have often wondered how that experience must've been for Mary. First of all, being pregnant without having done anything to get pregnant, being so young while pregnant, then seeking out a safe place to have your child whose head already had a bounty on it. Kind of mind boggling, isn't it?
I love this painting. Mary in silhouette and the angels as well. There is something very intimate about it, as if they are all sharing a deep and beautiful secret together. The clouds look angelic as well. Lovely post. xo, Noelle

Ah, Mary's baby bump is so clear in your painting. I had never thought of her this way before. Thanks.
Your vision is bowling me over, Cinda. I'm loving this Marian series. On to the next one now.
