This drawing was a happy find among things that my wife and I were unpacking as we moved. I drew it probably about two to three years ago. I had seen a mother holding her child at Mass, smiling at him and holding him close, and immediately thought of Mary and Jesus. I thought that it would be beautiful to portray their joy in each other.
My favorite representations of Mary are as she might have appeared as a "normal" woman and mother and this is a charming example of that. Thanks for posting it; I love it!
