Queen of the Seas

I see Her everywhere; on moonlit tides
She shines above the waves, divine, serene.
She lays a path of peace, Her love abides,
She calms the surging swells, the oceans’ Queen.

In February of 2011 I drove out to Virginia to spend two days at Virginia Beach and then head down to Fredericksburg to spend time with family. My last night at the beach I looked out of my hotel window and saw a blood red moon sending a rosy reflection onto the sea. I’ve never seen such a thing, having lived my whole life in land-locked Indiana, and the image touched me deeply. The next night as I was driving to Fredericksburg a full moon rose on my left, enormous and radiant. Some people look for the Man in the Moon, but I was immediately aware of the presence of Our Lady in the silver light. I tried to capture both of my experiences in one painting: the full moon rises over the sea, but the image on the water is both the Holy Spirit and Our Lady with outstretched arms.
