Task 5 - COLLAGE- Mother's Prayer

I really love mother/child, Madonna/child (as in Mary, not the rock star) paintings, sculptures and Russian religious art. Not for any real religious reasons I just love the painting techniques employed by the Russians (even though the majority of the population were starving they did produce some beautiful art works!)

I've been collecting little mother/child paintings from wherever I go when I travel and have some images from Alaska, Canada, Ecuador, Greece, Mexico and a Picasso pencil sketch that I love. I particularly love the images from the First Nations in Canada - some are quite touching.

I thought this was a lovely interpretation - very fresh and modern.
