I had some paint from the Dancer and somehow the colors reminded me of the icon paintings I'd seen when traveling in Russia. I was also interested in doing another figurative subject. This is what came from it. The subject is a Rennaisance painting called the Madonna in Sorrow. I gave it a bit of a modern twist and it didn't look all that sorrowful, thus a minor name change.
While I was working on it, I was reminded of my Sister Catherine of our parish. So I decided to make it a Christmas present to her and presented it at Christmas Eve Mass.
