Penny Richards' photos with the keyword: Mary Magdalene

This was my entry in the Belmont Shore Chalk Art Contest in Long Beach today. They put down good art paper, but we're still chalking on a busy sidewalk--it's one of my favorite days all year. This is loosely based on a depiction of Mary Magdalene in a Dutch missal c.1500; I've never tried the background lettering technique before but I like how it turned out. A passerby called it "the Patron Saint of Pumpkin Spice" so that's the name now.
