Description

The empty tomb... Oil on canvas 30x40" Well we're finally finished with this work in progress , sorry it took so long !! Been fighting with some difficult circumstances lately. By the way I want to apologize to all of you for hijacking and tainting our fun thread we had going here , I sincerely apologize to all of you for my rantings!!!!!!! As to the painting process , I darkened the painting here and there with a glaze of raw umber and medium, trying to get a better balance between the lights and darks . Then painted the centurion and made some adjustments to Christ's face ,lastly I added the greenery to the foreground corners, keeping it slightly out of focus, so as not to detract from the central point of focus! Oh yeah ... re-painted the INRI at the sword tip.... FINISH!!! Thank you all for following along with me and your gracious comments!!!!!!!!!! On another note : Vintorix musta sold the stained glass window .... as it's missing from his gallery ;) tom p.s. I noticed that Artwithin and ARTWITHIN II are both missing from here and there gallerys seem to be gone ... Any one know why?? They will be missed by me as well as by many others I'm sure!!!! They were both kind and sensitive Artist's .... hope they are ok!!!

I'm finally seeing this masterpiece. It is beautiful, Tom, and brings tears to my eyes. My galleries disappeared because it was the only thing I could do to stop myself, and take a rest. Funny, I never thought I would come to feel so detached from my work, as I do now. I love to create, but I no longer have to hold onto it in my galleries. I rather like that feeling of detachment. Thank you for your concern, Tom. I look forward to viewing more of your wonderful and inspiring work. Peace, Suzanne
