#43 "Hallelujah" 8x10 oil


Didn't intend on painting today. I was just going to do a some touch ups on another painting. I had drawn this about a week before and it just sat.  I decided I wanted to paint something so very different from what I usually do.  Frankly, I was getting bored. For me, this is a major departure and has really motivated me. I REALLY enjoyed doing this painting. I named it, "Hallelujah." It was inspired by Jeff Buckley's haunting rendition of Leonard Cohen's    "Hallelujah."
