"I Am"
20 x 24 inches
Acrylic on canvas
By far the most challenging thing I have ever painted. More than a year of work, and many tears went into this painting.
I kept thinking about the focus of Halloween: fear, death, blood, the un-dead, etc.... I thought about the one who brings love, life, forgiveness, joy, and restoration. I'm not talking about religion or rules or tradition. (I'm talking about the man who gave us two commandments: Love God Almighty with all your mind, heart and soul, and love your neighbor as yourself.) So I wanted the focus to be on him!
