Acrylic on Archival Gessobord with 3/4" birch sides, 12x12", Ready to hang!
I didn't plan to paint the Crucifixion, but this is where today's painting took me. Crucifixions were brutal instruments of torture for those who threatened the power of the Roman empire. We haven't changed much, unfortunately. Some progress over centuries, and then, not so much. We still use violence to establish power.
I started with an underpainting of gold, with the next layer of an aqua color. Red violet, a new pigment I picked up at Dick Blick last weekend, was layer number three. Purple is both the color of royalty and of bruising. I will soon be working on an exhibit for this coming spring that is about violence/power and peace, wreckage and beauty.
This painting has SOLD!
