Our Lady of Walsingham (OLW)

Watercolour and black ink line drawing of the Madonna in the Shrine at Walsingham, Norfolk, usually referred to by the faithful as Our Lady of Walsingham.
This particular piece by me is in fact, a composite made up from three images of her. Primarily the one at the Anglican shrine and taking in other versions I have seen. This is my own interpretation wherein the rose window behind her is an addition by me to enhance the halo effect.

A little bit of serendipity here. I did a precise drawing of a rose window as a component of an ongoing project and added some watercolour to supplement the pen and ink work.
It simply wasn't going to work so I left it and next morning in a half-hearted effort to salvage it I (almost) threw some ultramarine at it then mist sprayed it with water and went to the studio coffee room. 
On return to my workspace the painting had dried out and actually struck me as not too bad and is now something of a work in its own right rather than a component part.

Serendipity indeed.
