Not For Sale

From the biblical scene after the resurrection when Mary meets the risen Christ and mistakes him for the gardener.

Woman," he said, "Why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?"
Thinking he was the gardener, she said, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him." John 20:15

"I had envisioned doing the Stations of the Cross series for a long time but somehow could never get started. I felt it would have been too heart rendering to capture the crucifixion before the resurrection so I began these two panels.

The rich red iron ore at the top of Red Mountain provided the scene. Later, I added hydrangeas from my backyard."
