Drunken Roman (14" x 20", oil on
cement slab with mosaic and pottery pieces) -
Spending day after day walking through the
Roman ruins in Carthage, Mary came to know well
the spirits of the Romans who lived
there. She saw and painted this drunken
Roman like a ghost, just emerging from the
surface of a cement slab.
"You know the Greek statues were very classic
and very beautiful. And then the Romans
began to put personalities into them and make
them look like certain people. Special
people. Portraits. And this was
one of them."
