Communion

I started this painting in 2013. Only laid in composition placement and background, then left it until two weeks ago. I finished it. In the process, learned it had been abandoned due to hitting problems needing solutions. The best part was lessons and skills learned solving many of the issues left those years ago. This will be a gift for a special pastor. There are many layers of meaning in the objects. The basin and towel, the bitter herbs, four cuts on bread, class holding the wine, the purple enveloping everything. Communion 20" x 16" Oil on canvas.
