Supplication


Supplication
oil on canvas
30"x40"
completed 12/1/08 12:30 p.m.

I will tell the "story behind the story" in a day or two. For now I would love to know your reactions to the completed piece, your questions, and any general comments.

Thanks for sharing this with me. It is the first painting that I have been disappointed to finish. I just wanted there to be more to paint.

BUT... I have already completed the first photo shoot for my next painting. It will be called The Rescue. So come back for more on Supplication and to see The Rescue come to pass.

It's gorgeous!
I've SO enjoyed wathing your progress.
It's truly amazing! The deatials were so fun to watch - the wood in the chair, the jewels in the crown.
First they were great and then you made them POP. It's all just PAINT and talent!

Congratulations!
I can't wait to see the next one.

This is a beautiful painting. I do not see any reason you should be disappointed in it. You caught every little detail needed, the baby, the king, the knight, even the curtains. It's absolutely incredible.

Barb, friend of Rachel's too.

Great painting! Rich in color, and I love the soft-focus texture; it really makes for a sombre tone, which it seems you would be going for. I look forward to seeing more.
