"Crown of Thorns 2," 14 x 19 original watercolor, unframed.
Pardon the "Valley Girl" vocabulary, but these are the gnarliest, most brutal looking thorns I’ve ever seen! It honestly pained me to paint them, as I rendered their sharp, angular points in vivid detail. I couldn’t imagine having these pressed into my skull. To me the red flowers represent the blood must have resulted. Part of my Desert Metaphors series posted during Holy Week, the composition is a modified cruciform (shape of a cross)....another subtle nod to the events of Good Friday. The green reminds me that even with all the pain and suffering involved in the unjust trial and ultimate crucifixion…leaving his disciples devastated and hopeless…there remains an element of healing and hope. “Crown of Thorns.” 14x19 original watercolor, unframed. Comes with backing and a protective sleeve. Save $225.
