I made this image for my family holiday cards this year. You can use it for yours as I give you non-commercial reproduction rights with the piece. You can also share this image with your friends all you want and they can print it out as well. I can send you a high res scan for printing with the piece if you like. I do a scan before I seal these as once they are sealed it's almost impossible to get a clear image. Let me know if you want one.
This piece has been embellished with metallic gouache, acrylic and interference mediums. The highlighted portions are super shiny up close, like a Russian Icon. There are so few images of Mary with an Eastern appearance. I really like making them for my husband's family who are all Filipino and love images like this.
My husband thinks this looks like his baby picture. It's not, but there is a resemblance :p
Mary of the East is painted on 300lb Arches Cold Press Watercolor Paper. She is painted with M Grahams watercolors and other archival mediums. She is sealed with UV resistant acrylic gloss.
She is shipped inside a non-pvc bag securely reinforced with archival comics backing boards. Thank you for indulging my art obsession!
