CANADA - It is a different take on religious art, but that is fine by Grade 12 St. Mary's Catholic Secondary School student Rosalie Byrnes. Rosalie put a new twist on two paintings of Mary and Jesus, destined for the cafeteria of the school. "I wanted to do something modern," said 17-year-old Rosalie, who added her influences include Austrian symbolist painter Gustav Klimt. St. Mary's is a new school and she believes the paintings complement the style of the school, and will appeal to young students, she added. After she did a painting for the prom last year, Rosalie said the school's vice principal, Rob Majdell, asked her to complete the two paintings. The school provided two large four-by-five foot canvases for the pieces. She started the work last December and just put the finishing touches on the work in early June. [link]
