I stared this painting in the sping of 2009 and completed it in the fall of 2011. In between I have completed another 19 paintings. During this time I read a book, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mother of the Civilization of Love by Carl Anderson and Eduardo Chavez that talk about the flower patterns on her tunic being codex symbols that had significant meaning for the Aztec Indians. I realized that I could not paint this detail accurately so decided to finish the painting to the best of my ability.
I haven’t posted for awhile. 2011 has been a dark night for many people and cultures with the earth movements and human violence and suffering. And yet many good things have happened as well. People are waking up to the preciousness of all life. As Mary communicated to me many years ago the dark night was going to get darker. Now it seems that the light is growing brighter in human souls. May your life be as bright as the eternal Divine Light.
Love, Rullah
