    Wow.

    Sorry for my silence again. Busy, busy. -___-

    And yes, I am up at 2 in the morning. Ever so smart, I know. xD

    Lovely painting, this is. I love how Mary's left hand is up in a gesture of "How can this be?!"

    Looking at the ones you've posted in the past week or so, I am going "love love love" also. ^_^

  2. It's okay, I like comments any time! ;) Looking at paintings at 2 in the morning sounds fun to me!

    I love the hand gesture and the way it seems to say "How can this be?" and "Look."
    I love when artists use expressive hand gestures!
