Last preview!

Tonight's a special night! I just finished the last figure... although we still have a few minor tweaks here and there. Another couple nights and it will be complete and ready to share in it's entirety.

It's been a fun week... great progress on the garment phase! I won't give a fashion analysis, but I will say that linen and wool is back.

Preview III

Here's what I've been up to for the last few weeks. A lot of hands, feet and finishing touches on the faces. We're in a really-really good spot... the home stretch is near!

Community of believers

I would love to hear from you.

I'm open to any comments or opinions. The painting focuses on the day of Pentecost. As it's written in Acts, the apostles and other members (friends, brothers, sisters...) gathered in an upper room above the place where they had previously gathered for Jesus' last supper. There they prayed (the first church?) and suddenly it happened... "And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting." 2:1–2. 

There's a secondary focus to the painting, the simple people who gathered in that room... a small community of believers. These were people who's lives would change completely - turning the world up side down (in a good way). I think that's so powerful. You?
