Boxing

Boxing

Acrylic on Illustration Board 16.5" x 12"

This is a story about a fight that doesn’t seem to be going well for the fighter in the painting. The expression on the fighter’s face tells us that his opponent is winning and his manager is telling him not to give up, to go out there and win the fight. This painting is a metaphor, it happens in life. We are sometimes the boxers, facing odds that seem to big for us to handle and other times we’re on the outside like the manager. We like the manager can give our time to train those who need more than words and help them when they are down. As the boxer facing odds, trials to big to handle, we don’t have to face them alone; there is help the Bible says so…

Cotton Picking

Cotton Picking

Oil on Canvas 28" x 22"

This painting was inspired from an old black and white photograph of her mother-in-law picking cotton with her brothers. Mary wanted to remind people that there is beauty in work, hard work was a way of life and children would help in the work, as they were a family. The sun shining on the cotton, the colors in the shadows of those working, the sacks used to put cotton in and the expressions on their faces help to tell a story. To think they never knew that one day this picture that was taken would be made into a painting to encourage others; to stir memories of the past. Mary chose vibrant colors because she saw so much life expressed in it.

Girl At The Depot

Girl At The Depot

This painting was inspired from an old photograph taken at a train depot. There was a lot more in the photo but it was the girl with the dark eyes in the photo that caught Mary’s attention. The painting was designed around the girl, standing alone, holding her hat and waiting. The people in the background and depot were painted in the shadow to draw attention to the girl. In the painting no one seems to notice the girl standing alone Mary leaves the rest of the story up to the viewer.

Girl At The Depot

Prayer of a Child

 

In this painting a mother is washing the laundry on a washboard, glances at her son and sees him praying. His sister is placing her hands together as she sees her brother doing. Mary wanted to say many things in this painting, the training of our children to go to the Father in prayer at any time for any reason. We never know who is watching us as the sister sees her brother praying, so are we are light and salt in this world and as the mother has lived the truth before the children and then they live it before others. The light of God is seen in us and passed on.

Mary chose cool colors to express the time of day early in the morning. She wanted the boy’s face to be seen as peace. This peace doesn’t depend on circumstances it is given to us through a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

"I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 8:3,4
