Novena, A Self-Portrait and Tree of Life

Completed Novena and Tree of Life. They're really much prettier and more striking than they appear in the photo, I think it's the reflection of light off the white silk background that makes them so hard to photograph. Although there are a couple of technical issues that I'm chalking up to "live and learn", I'm satisfied with the finished result. Here is a photo of them installed:



I rather like how the light from the window illuminates them. The Snow Angel flies in the heavens, above the trees, and she reminds me of the peaceful quiet that only a cold, heavy snow in the dead of winter brings, a quite period of hibernation and rest that precedes the new life of spring.
