Mary's Vase

I painted this painting titled, "Mary's Vase" visualizing the vase which was broken to wash Jesus's feet. From the vase the oil spills, and washes in the crack in the group, and from the crack tulips grow, which symbolize pure, fatherly love. This symbolizes how our sacrifices to the Lord help "fill in" the crack separating us, helping us to experience Him more. the tulips growing from the oil symbolize this as well, as the sacrificial oil helps grow the plants which symbolize pure love. In the corner there is a renaissance style halo that usually surrounds Jesus's head in paintings, which symbolizes His presence.
