Artist's Comments

Happy Easter, everyone! What, no Easter bunny? :)

This was a painting I did for a really neat setup my church put together during Holy Week; the idea being, that you could stand in the sanctuary and feel like you were in the garden of Gethsemene looking out over the hills of Jerusalem. I'm a little landscape-challenged, but. . . I'm happy with how it came out. ^___^

I have to wonder, what would Jesus have seen as he looked out from the garden that evening?

I really like all the soft colors used along with the brush strokes that give it texture. Nice job. :>

Quite impressive! Displaying it here as an Easter illustration makes this all the more unique. Most people would have concentrated on either the Spring theme or the Cross of the Resurrection.

You never fail to impress, btw, but then the amount of fans you have here proves that. And you can count me among them. :)

Do you remember when it was actually worth it to get up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons?

I absolutely love this, it feels so warm and welcoming. It just makes me want to be there.
