Just as an aside, you CAN shrink pictures before you upload them to the boards. For a while, I thought the thread was who can upload the biggest picture of the Blessed Mother!

Wow. I really liked a lot of those posts thank you so much!

Mine has to be Our Lady of Guadalupe. The fact that she is pregnant in that picture makes me think about Revelation 12. In Revalation 12, Mary was clothed with the sun and was pregnant. Our Lady of Guadalupe appears the same way.

About the images in the eyes, here is a picture and a link:

LOL! I do like them big. I love looking at them.

I just pull up the thread and I can look at all these lovely paintings. I wonder, though, is it a bother to some because computers may take time to show big pictures? I know everyone’s computers have various capabilities.

P.S. How do you shrink them? I wanted to cut the Street Madonna down (#35) - take out all that wallpainting to the left. But I didn’t know how. Other than that, I chose bigger pictures, because they are nice.
