This is just lovely! What a graceful Madonna. I'm wondering what kind of paint the pink is, it's a beautiful colour. I love the textures here, they look like the branches of a vine.

Artist Reply: Thank you so much, as always, for your comments, Anneke. The "pink" is simply just red acrylic tamed with some lighter color(s) I've forgotten; then thined with water and applied lightly over that "gold," which is much harder for me to concoct and never shines as I want it to. Probably better for this occasion than the screaming gloss I usually can't resist. Thank you again for your usual thoughtfulness, dear Anneke, and your courageous comments or questions. Peace, etc., Bruce
