#929 - 12/05/05 10:43 AM My Jesus Painting
Vi Member Registered: 05/21/05 Posts: 252	I'd like your opinion of my painting of Jesus. It's called The Likeness. I realize it's not the image of him that we all grew up with. But to copy someone else's work would be legally and morally the wrong thing to do. So I created my own. Initially, I tried to make him look more Jewish, less European. I tried to make the hair darker, but it kept turning out lighter anyway. What do you think? To view the painting go to the website my dear husband created at: http://www.whereartmeetstheheart.com/xthelikeness.html Vi <small>[ December 06, 2005, 08:34 PM: Message edited by: Vi ]</small>

Your work is just wonderful - so many beautiful paintings that obviously you have poured your heart and soul (and talent!) into. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> <small>[ December 05, 2005, 07:36 AM: Message edited by: Pam Kimmell ]</small>

Vi Member Registered: 05/21/05 Posts: 252	Thanks so much, Chatty Lady. I knew the eyes had to be special. I worked and worked to make them express his inner beauty. It makes me feel good that I accomplished what I set out to accomplish.

Vi Member Registered: 05/21/05 Posts: 252	Sandpiper, Thank you so much. Your words make me feel good. I started painting in 2001...during a horrible period of not sleeping - a menopausal thing. I found Jerry Yarnell's painting lessons on PBS. He taught me to paint. I'm so grateful to him. Love to you, Vi
