"All Encompassing Lion of Judah"
28x22" Oil on Canvas
I love to paint. There are some that just really excite me, and some that are just more satisfying. This one is one that stirs up such excitement in me! I did the underpainting in acrylic about two years ago during a worship service. I wasn't all that happy with it, and have just kind of looked at it in passing. Yesterday, I decided to get it down and rework it. This time I would use oils. I've just discovered my love for oils within the past two months after taking Nancy Medina's workshop. My husband was a little leery of me reworking it. I think he thought I would ruin it. I told him that I felt like I had nothing to lose but canvas, so I began. I painted intuitively, without a reference photo or anything. I determined to use the paints that were left over on my palette. I recalled some of the "rules" that Nancy imparted to me, and began to feel such excitement as the painting took shape and as I began to contemplate who the Lion of Judah is to me. There aren't words, really. He is my All. He is the Beginning and the End. He's the one that loves me and also fights for me. Do you know him?
