Soft Pastel on Sketch Paper
Price: NFS
Year painted: 1983
Pastels Used: Grumbacher
Source: My imagination.
This was painted three years after the Dung Beetle, with the same "nasty" hard pastels on plain ol' paper. The image is purely fictional, since according to the Bible it actually got quite dark when Christ died on the Cross. The brilliant light represents the hope that dawned for us when He died. I painted the single cross (without the two thieves who were crucified on either side) to emphasize how alone Jesus was in His dying moment.
