Story / Additional InfoThis painting is from an older series of oils where the artist explored her Hispanic heritage (on her father's side). His family was catholic and she worked from a photo of an aunt caring for her brother who was having trouble with diabetes and other health problems. The rosary hangs over the mirror and a vase of lilies carries on the artist's lily series. The Virgin Mary is reflected in a disc and other design elements are reminiscent of Matisse who the artist was greatly influenced by. The contrast of the bright colors especially the dark cobalt blue characterizes this early series.
