Artist's Comments

I wanted to make this work to be a statement of faith. I am showing that it's not always easy to follow Christ's lead, but through that devotion shines hope and life; thus the lighter shading on the eye.

Luke 9:23
Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me."

this is one part to a 4 part self portrate piece found here: [link]

i 'preciate the feedback, but it would have thrown off my composition to work with the wrist. besides, the whole would be very awkward there: if it's big enough to see the eye then it would have been even less believeable than it is. it's a lesser of 2 evils kinda choice with the placement.

thanks for the feedback though. i just started posting stuff today, and i'm getting lots of comments. this place rocks. :headbang:

*nodnods* I see what you're saying. Maybe another piece then, with the wrists connect by a stake through them, and you looking over your hands?
Just an idea that popped into my head. :)

hey, that was your idea. feel free to persue it yourself. work off your creativity. you are an artist, not a muse. ;-)

This is awfully creative... and I like it's meaning a great deal.
