I must’ve taken a gazillion photos to get one that was not out of focus and this is the best I could come up with. I had intended to do this canvas-wrapped, but then decided to go this route because I was going to hang it at our upcoming art festival, and I think a frame really enhances a painting.
As those of you who have followed this process are aware; this is the shepherd boy David singing praises to his God, which is in keeping with the theme of the festival – “Praise Him.”
Now I’m onto to something else…something less intense.
Mahalo to all of you for your encouragement and helpful suggestions.

Congratulations Lokelani! What a beautiful tribute for our Lord. The background hills and the foreground stones lead the eye right up to David. Wonderful!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Loke. I know you struggled with this one. David/Jacob is beautiful...I gotta tell you though, I just LOVE the look on the face of the lamb at his right foot. SOOO cute - he/she has serious personality.
Thank you Sheila. You helped me through it with your encouragement. Along with David, I too praise the Lord.
ReplyDeleteTia: yes it was kind of a struggle, but as Kimo said, a labor of love. It's one of those pieces that you know you have to do...and then it all comes together. Little lamb is a she...my picture I say so...LOL!
