Because I’m a freak of nature, my hair Is red and my skin turns dark in the sun and my relatives are dark skinned Brazilian, I paint my spiritual leaders’ portraits with Dark skin as well as I see them. The Mystery and vision of Mary with the Golden Tears came to me while I was escaping danger and was trying to save the lives of others. Family ,friends and little ones needed protection.. My life was being compromised by others that blamed their attacks on my mental health, already corrected. I drew solace from painting this picture. Author and Artist Sherry M joiner
