Obsession

Three small drawings (2026) Obsession Last year I drew Mary Magdalene again and again—dozens of times. This year, so far, I have completed only three. These small drawings came to me over a few inspired days earlier this year. In them, Mary Magdalene appears as part of nature, immersed in her quiet, ongoing meditation on life.

Unstoppable Person

Today’s drawing of Mary Magdalene Jorge Muñoz Parral says that God is a creative force that likes those who are coherent.
