Magdalene
A very close friend of mine has one of my favorite names – Magdalena – and so it got me to thinking of Mary Magdalen.
I’m not trying to be blasphemous with her being unclothed – but rather I thought it appropriate – to have her bathed in light, drinking from the cup, in all of her “raw-ness”...... I hope you understand where my mind was going with it… :)
Peace,
Claudia

A poem in her honor:
Song for Mary Magdalene
by Padraic Pearse (Irish Poet)
Text of Padraic Pearse’s “Song for Mary Magdalene”
O woman of the gleaming hair,
(Wild hair that won men’s gaze to thee)
Weary thou turnest from the common stare,
For the shuiler Christ is calling thee.
O woman of the snowy side,
Many a lover hath lain with thee,
Yet left thee sad at the morning tide,
But thy lover Christ shall comfort thee.
O woman with the wild thing’s heart,
Old sin hath set a snare for thee:
In the forest ways forspent thou art
But the hunter Christ shall pity thee.
O woman spendthrift of thyself,
Spendthrift of all the love in thee,
Sold unto sin for little pelf,
The captain Christ shall ransom thee.
O woman that no lover’s kiss
(Tho’ many a kiss was given thee)
Could slake thy love, is it not for this
The hero Christ shall die for thee?

Yeah – it is nutty—:)
My daughter’s manager always uses that word “Phat” – so it stuck when I first began doing pieces (I used to do a lot of animals – dogs and cats – thus, “phatpuppy”. lol

you’re pretty close to me considering where this site is…. one of my other teachers who used to teach at my art school just launched an artsite called bluecanvas last fall with his brother… you should check it out and if you like the site, you should sign up… they are in downtown, l.a.
