Yeshua suspended upon the Tree

Yeah, I know… it’s been done a million times. My turn. For the most part, in this country we tend to make Christ look like he was a man out of European culture… or sometimes African American. I like the idea of Christ looking more like a Jewish man, side locks and all. I did it that way because I have never seen him depicted on the cross in a manner that authentically indicates that he was a Jew. His hair has the hint of "ruddy" so as to suggest that he is from the line of King David – like the scriptures tell that Messiah would be.

My pencil drawing and some details about the art are at the site, as well as some things that I needed to get off my chest. If you are not into talking about religion, politics, and racism… just check out the art. The art encapsulates the written ideas that are there anyway.

What about the sparks – keep them or not?


Peace.

Beautiful work. In every way. And I would lose the sparks. But once again, wonderful piece.
