In celebration of "Mary's Month," the month of May, here's an intuitive style painting I did earlier this year (painted on Holy Thursday), of Mary, titled "Blessed Among Women." An 18 x 24" oil on canvas.

This past Easter I felt led to paint an image of Christ (which I did after I finished this painting of Mary first, but I'll share that one for later). My intention for this canvas was the face of Christ, but it was Mary's face who emerged instead.

This whole process of painting was quite different then my usual approach. For this painting, I started with a black canvas, laid down layers of paint colors and then from there, started to wipe away the paint with a rag until, much to my surprise, it was Mary's face who appeared. Okay, I thought, so not this canvas for Christ. From there, I began adding small amounts of paint to empathize her features.

Anyway, I love how she turned out and the feeling in her eyes. I hope you like it too. To me, it evokes both the enunciation (God's glory upon her), and also the pain in her eyes at witnessing the death of her Son, the Christ. That's what I see anyway, every time I look at her: the beginning of Christ's life through her and the end. Thankfully though, His death on the cross wasn't the end... but only the beginning. ❤️🙏

Understand this: The movies and shows about the crucifixion have been tame when compared to what He actually went through.

Even The Passion Of The Christ was forced to hold back a little in order to avoid an X rating.

Crucifixion was, and still is, arguably the most excruciating death someone can experience.

The night before in Gethsemane, He was sweating blood. This is known as hematidrosis. This would have caused His skin to become extremely sensitive, thus making the beatings to come even worse.

The fear He felt was the beginning of His feeling the weight of our iniquities being laid on Him.

Yet - in this moment, He didn’t demand that the Father take it from Him. He only asked for the cup to pass Him over if it was within the Father’s will.

Up next came the Cat of Nine Tails, or a Roman Flagrum. This was a weapon with long leather “tails”, each embedded with sharp bones and metal.

He was flogged 39 times as Jewish law mandated “40 minus one”, because 40 was said to kill a man.

This flogging wasn’t like being punished by your father’s leather belt.

Every strike tore flesh, every strike exposed muscle. Every strike exposed nerve endings. Every strike tore flesh to the bone.

This would be like getting struck with razor blades over and over again, leading to hypovolemic shock from blood loss.

Oh, and the crown of thorns? These weren’t rose thorns. These were thorns which were 2-3 inches long. Beaten into his skull.

These thorns would have pierced his skull, tripping the trigeminal nerve, thus causing unimaginable pain and even more blood loss from the dozens of head wounds.

At this point, extreme nausea and dizziness would begin to set in.

What came next? Carrying the cross. Which weighed around 300lbs. This would be like carrying two full kegs on your back.

Splinters and wood grating against the open flesh on His back. And He had to carry it 650 yards, or close to a half mile.

Imagine carrying a log on your back after being skinned alive.

Up next? He was nailed to the cross with spikes 5-7in in length. Piercing His wrists - this no doubt pierced the median nerve, causing extreme burning sensations up and down His arms.

A spike was driven through his ankles - severing nerves and tendons. This would have felt like standing on broken glass every time He pushed Himself up in order to breathe.

He suffered for 6 hours.

His chest muscles collapsing, making every single breath a fight for life.

His shoulders were dislocated, His arms stretching unnaturally long.

His heart was struggling to pump blood.

He was extremely dehydrated, His lips cracking.

His heart more than likely literally ruptured from the stress.

And on top of all of that, He had to feel a separation with the Father for a period of time in order to REALLY bear the weight of our sin.

He took up this burden for ALL sin before Him, and ALL sin which came after Him.

HE DID IT ALL FOR US.

To free us. To defeat sin. To give us a pathway to the Kingdom.

Every sin we commit is exactly why He had to do it.

And the real kicker? He knew what was coming when He rode into Jerusalem … and He didn’t turn around. He kept going.

For us.

@Lionlovera_ Me too - I think I've cried at some point in every episode and even when I've rewatched them. Such a remarkable series - and I think one of the best and most relatable in telling the story of Jesus and showing us His beautiful heart.❤️

This is a painting I recently completed of Aviator, Amelia Earhart titled "Every Dream Starts With A Spark." It's a 30 x 48" oil on canvas and is currently showing in the Peninsula Art League's National Show at the Gig Harbor Vintage Aero Museum now through Dec. 3rd, so there's still time to see it in person, if you're in the area! My hope for this painting though, is that it will permanently land in an aviation museum someday. When I created it, I wanted to try and do a painting of her I felt would encompass her entire aviation career as well as her essence. Here she is in her early to mid twenties (at the beginning of her aviation career), with her final plane, the Electra, that she disappeared in in 1937.

She was such a courageous and amazing woman and really a pioneer for women’s empowerment. There's so many fascinating things about her life and my hope for this painting is that it will spark new interest, not only in who she was, but also will serve as inspiration, especially for young girls and women alike; that anything is possible! All it takes is a spark!✨

@ThrillaRilla369 It's so true. I lost my Mom beginning of this year and life now has the biggest void in it. I miss her everyday.💔

@BinsaeedRashid Enough, so I can keep painting.

Still thinking about Frankenstein. What an amazing story (Mary Shelley), and adaptation (Guillermo del Toro). Watched it twice and cried both times. 😭😭💔💔
