my Maria is a tribute to mother and child
my starting point was, among other, this favorite Maria from my collection
a reproduction of a pencil drawing from 1920 by Jan (Johannes Theodorus) Toorop
and
a picture of me with Youngest, taken on one of his first days, 13 years ago
pencil drawing on A4 paper, with pinholes
please take a look here to see their Maria:
Ariane, Renilde, Julia, Céline, Tania,
Roberto, Nadine, Mano (maybe), Olga, Citlali,
Kristen, Stefanie, Susan, Ritva and Tammie
this weekend i will follow workshops on saturday and sunday
so, i will visit your places on monday
have a fine weekend!

het raakt mij altijd aan, jou werk liefe patrice. onzettend mooi!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love the one with you and your baby. The one with the pinholes made me smile, hihi! It's beautiful and at the same time a bit funny and that you just did that: made yourself into a Maria! Wauw!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI simply adore your drawing! so beautiful!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenmother and child, it´s always my maria.
it´s that mystery and connection between a mum and a baby, I watched lots of pictures yesterday evening with my babies and me.
I love that theme!
thank you and have a nice weekend

Such a challenging theme for me- and you make it look like a breeze! Illuminated with those pin holes and gold I love it!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenhi dear,
BeantwoordenVerwijdereni just had my daughter and granddaughter with me.

light and delightful!
it´s a sunny day up here and
i´m off to collect my works from the summer exhibition.
hugs!
the blue, the protecting arms, the halo; that special world of mother and child, just the two of them, the outside world reduced to just some light seeping in, your pin holes are (in different meanings even) so at the right place here.

Beautiful Maria exuding her love. Just a wonderful drawing, Patrice!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenMy dear Patrice,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenyou show us with this beauuutiful drawing of you as a breastfeeding mother an archaic type of woman: Maria. So very beautfiul even the blue of the shirt, the golden halo and of course that pinholes! So clever...letting in the light! so calming, so patiently your doing, hole after hole more light... like a Maria.
Thank you, Dear, for that theme. As Julia said, it let us feel our connections in a deep way.
LOVE
xoxx Ariane.
Oh dear, I just love your drawing! It's beautiful in your very own and special reduced way, but still full of details, that give it that certain strong expression. It's the perspective, the blue colour, the pinholes where the light shines through...
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGreat hommage to such a strong personal moment in life!
This is such a wonderful topic for the drawing challenge, and I love so much what you have done with yours. I always think I will participate in these, I am sad I never have, sometime I promise myself I will. It is so easy to be so intimidated by the talent and extreme creativity of your participants :) But even if I do not partake, I love so much seeing what everyone comes up with! Brilliant. Thank you for doing it :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWhat a beautiful picture, a nursing baby is more tender image that can exist!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI liked your María!!!! :)
