"My Lord" – Inspired by Mark 14:8-9
 
This deeply moving oil painting captures one of the most profound acts of love and humility in Scripture—Mary of Bethany anointing the feet of Jesus. Inspired by Mark 14:8-9, where Christ declares, “She has done what she could; she has anointed My body beforehand for the burial… wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her.”
 
The artist masterfully conveys the emotional depth of this moment, as Mary, overcome with reverence, pours out her costly perfume in an act of extravagant worship. The rich, earthy tones highlight the intimacy of the scene, while the warm glow illuminates her surrendered posture, reflecting a heart fully devoted to her Lord. Her hair, unbound in an ultimate act of humility, tenderly dries His feet—symbolizing selfless love, adoration, and total surrender.
 
"My Lord" serves as a visual invitation to reflect on our own devotion to Christ. It is not merely a painting but a powerful reminder of what it means to worship with abandon, to give our all to the One who gave everything for us. This piece would be a treasured addition to any sacred art collection, bringing inspiration and spiritual depth to any home, church, or gallery.
