This one is from the vault—“Final Hour”.  It was completed in 2003. If you have aging parents, loved ones or friends, or lost someone during COVID-19 you may be able to relate to this one. Be Blessed

Started working on this painting again last week—it’s for a family member. The sketch below was made in 2002. Name of the piece is “ Bride”, Size : 24h x 28w, Medium: Alkyds on Masonite—In progress. Praise God !!  Overall am pleased with the painting but tossing around a few ideas for the pews.
