Tradition of the Madonna- on T Tuesday

keeping a diary."  -  Picasso




If only the calm serenity of the Madonna's
aspect could be transferred to us
during the hectic holiday season!
Enjoy your tea, or coffee today...



Linking to Elizabeth's T Tuesday party.
Whatever your December activities,
I hope you will shine bright and steady
and enjoy your days!

  1. I had NO idea you had so many Madonnas. And even though they are all similar, they are all equally different and unique.

    I saw an exhibit on Caterina's blog about replicas/series that Van Gogh made. Looks like you are doing your own series with these Madonnas.

    Thanks for sharing T today, dear friend.

  4. Even MORE Madonnas. It seems you have been working this series for several years. I'm always delighted to see you date your art, something I don't often do. I've even been known to not add my name to pieces I've sent to others!

  5. What a great collection of Marian art. I think my favorite is the one based on the icon...I find the rules and methods of iconography intriguing.

    Your panda mug is super cute. Happy T Day!

  8. Hello again,
    saw your comment on my blog. I do live in Ohio, on the east side, in Madison. Where do you live? Yes, it is cold isn't it. The sun is out a little today thank goodness, haven't seen it in over a week and missed it.
    I thought the OSU was pretty cool, too bad they didn't win the big game. The Grinch snowman was pretty awesome and should have won I think.
    Thanks for your visit.

  10. Your journal of Madonnas is just fascinating, like Dawn I can't pick a favorite either.
    I always like what Picasso had to say about art.
    Happy T-day
