A Veil of Leaves

Mary Magdalene: Embraced by Nature, Embracing Nature. Mary Magdalene: Veil of Leaves, Acrylic on Canvas, 8” wide x 10” high, 2025. Available in the Shop.

This original painting of Mary Magdalene is inspired by Mary Magdalene’s connection to flowers, perfume, earth, and a spirituality that acknowledges the connection of all living things.

Mary Magdalene holds a sunflower, the flower that always reaches for the sun, a representation of God. Leaves frame her as if nature were embracing her and as if she is in deep connection with nature.

This 8” x 10” original painting was completed in July 2025. The original drawing was published as part of this blog in Magdalene.org, where I post a drawing and some thoughts every day.
