What would your version of the Madonna look like?
This is a bit of a cheat, but I drew a version of the Pietà a few months back that I think best captures my artistic conception of the Madonna. It is in the general form of a tear, but if you look closely you should be able to make out the figures of mother and adult child intertwined in shared suffering. I hope it also depicts a strength of selfless comforting in the face of great sorrow.

This shoots up toward the top of the list that is my favorite drawings of yours.
'Big old list to climb.
this ia also one of my favorites..welcome back..:)
Very lovely, I'd love to see it on a Christmas Card! Thanks for sharing.
Same with your other drawings, I love it. It has the feeling of belongingness joined with comforting security. Anyone who will view it will probably feel the same. Thanks it made my gloomy day a little lighter. :) btw, thanks for the inspiring comment.
This is certainly a worthy go at it for sure Francis.
It would also make a great gift. ;)
I like you drawings, I think you have already your 'character' there.
Btw, what is the medium that you use for this?
I haven't been drawing for some time, but I'm a bit motivated now after seeing your blog (twice now) :))
I've only once put one or 2 unfinished sketches on my blog.
@Ken Thanks. I really like how this one turned out as well. I actually didn't intend a pieta, but while drawing the tear, that's what emerged.
@Confused Glad to be back! The trip flew by.
@AvidReader That's a good idea. I can probably get cards printed via the web pretty easily. Thanks for being there to share it with me :).
@Anmari I'm glad it improved your mood, and that you found the comment inspiring.
@Cooper Do you have a birthday coming up? :)
@Ori I use color pencil on paper. I'd love to see some of your sketches. A blog is a good place to try things out and get people's reactions.
i can't wait to read about your trip to new york! :)
Wonderful. I think my favourite drawing of yours so far.
Now eagerly awaiting pictures of the big city. Good to have you back :)
The blue color makes it peaceful.
I have to apologize for being late on commenting. My comment tabs are refusing to open...it reports an error every time I post. Now I have changed to google chrome and it's working now.
Thanks for picking up the tad, I thought you were too busy to read it.
The drawing is one of the best I have seen, very abstract and very meaningful. The curves are smoothly drawn and are excellently merged with one another - smooth as marble - a perfect work of art.
Brilliant Francis, really amazing work of art. Can I post it later in my blog? Thanks.
Welcome back.
Mille Grazie, Francis! I enjoy your artwork and your writing. I'd buy a box of these for Christmas cards... the stuff they have out there is either cheesy or too commercial!
Regards,
@Ms. O.D. I've got stuff I want to write about NYC, but no time right now (due to another project I'll be blogging about soon). I'm also waiting on a friend to send me the pics he took from the trip.
@Fiendish Photos to be posted very soon ... I hope.
@BookCalendar Blue is a peaceful color ... maybe that's why I use it so much.
@Jena You're always welcome to post whatever you like from my site.
@AvidReader I'm not very fond of the commercial designs out there either.
