WALL TEXT
The hand presenting the lilies belongs to the Angel Gabriel which puts the artist and the viewer in the place of Mary receiving the annunciation of Luke 1:28. Speaking for myself, I find it totally credible that God is also speaking to me, “Hail, O favored one.” I see myself as favored not only because of the blood Christ shed for my redemption but also because of the gifts I have received which allow me to realize this painting. The tools of the artist’s craft accompany the Bible which Mary is traditionally pictured reading. The actual tools of my craft, well worn brushes, serve as the zitzits or tassels for this banner.
