Blues described as 'caeruleum' were quite expensive in medieval and Renaissance times. A patron would send the artist to the apothecary to purchase a certain amount of expensive pigments to pridefully show-off their piety. Who to paint in expensive colours? The most important person in the painting would be Jesus Christ. But he was mainly depicted as an infant or semi-nude in crucifixtion scenes.
So the expensive paint would adorn Jesus's mother, Mary. So you know. Praise blue.

Hey, that's a pretty cool way to do this, Glendon. But, not liking Bob Dylan? The concept is, "foreign" to me.
Oh okay good, you're still speaking to me.
I just painted a teeny canvas and put it on my scanner with the oils still wet.
