Lying in the arms of Mary - art

[amberdreams]

Doing art when I should be writing. Left it sketchy because I liked the faded look to it.
A fill for a prompt on ohsam's 2nd Nov H/C challenge for alethiometry who wanted Fic or art: Sam wakes up in Heaven in his mother's arms

Main pic - Lying in the arms of Mary:

References- I used a screen cap of Sam when he'd been shot by Roy and Walt, and one of Mary where she was hugging Dean in Dark Side of the Moon. For the post I used this statue.

I don't recognise the sculptor, I found the photo on deviantart. Edited to say, stripysockette was correct, this is the Passion of Christ (which could make this Veronica I think, not Mary) from outside Notre Dame de la Garde, Marseilles.

This is really beautiful. A fabulous likeness of Mary, and you've captured such a tremendous sense of comforting in her expression. And Sam lying in her arms, just gorgeous.

Thank you - that's what I was attempting from those various references...
