Back to Eden Original Painting 36" x 48"

Size: 36x48

For hundreds of years much of Catholic sacred art has represented the essential role Mary plays in the Incarnation.  One popular image for her has been the rose without thorns. Much of my own work also draws on these themes of the contrast between Mary and Eve.

This is my painting entitled “Back to Eden”. Eve turned her back on Eden – through Mary we are able to go back to Eden. The tradition of Mary as the new Eve comes from Revelation 12, where the woman bears a male child who will rule all the nations and finally defeats Satan. The rose is a metaphor for Mary is the Rose without thorns (without sin).

Eve's disobedience was eventually redeemed in the act of Mary’s obedient “May it be to me as you have said”. Through Mary’s “yes”, the shriveled tree of humanity bears fruit again, and through Christ is able to blossom into life and love again. I have always seen Mary as the model for an artist – open to the Spirit and all its mystery, ready to bring into the world something beautiful for the world beyond herself and her control. 

The painting is Oil on Panel, 48" H x 36" W x 2" deep. The sides are raw wood, no framing necessary for a clean contemporary look. ©Michelle Arnold Paine All RIghts Reserved
