Virgin of Tenderness
by Nancy Goes
Bead Embroidery
8 3/4" x 11 1/2"
All of these works are based on historically traditional icons of the Madonna and Christ Child. For me these icons portray the beautiful and loving relationship between mother and child and the tenderness of maternal love which is selfless and unconditional. These images are painted on cloth, embroidered with beads and attached to a wood backing which has been gold leafed.
