This image I painted with acrylics and colored pencils. It is the symbol of Mary's love for Jesus and for us. Her heart is surrounded by roses to show the beauty of her pure love. The flame is the flame of love. The sword is what Simeon spoke of when Jesus was presented in the temple and he said to Mary, "a sword shall pierce your heart, that the thoughts of many may be revealed."

Standard size. Easy to find a ready-made frame at your local Hobby Lobby. We recommend a wooden frame for this one, of course, either stained or one of the colors in the painting that match your walls. If you're sending this as a gift and would like us to frame it for you, please convo and we'll make special arrangements for you.

– 8.5 x 11" acid-free paper
– Archival pigments, rated to last for generations.
– Cardboard backer
– Above story of the art
– Enclosed in a tight-fitting, crystal clear bag.

** IMPORTANT ** There is about an inch-and-a-third of white space around the picture, so the image is smaller than the paper.

Thanks for your interest!
