I entered these three paintings in the Anual FRESH IDEAS Art Show that will be held at the MCL GRAND Art Gallery in Lewisville.  This is a juried show, so not everything that gets submitted gets accepted into the show and I was really curious to see how many if any of mine would make it in. . . drum roll . . . AND THEY ALL GOT ACCEPTED!  I'm so happy.  If you are a blog follower, you've seen these before, but these are the three paintings that made it into the show.

Last Supper Progression Day SIX

I had some more fixing to do.  You may notice the colors are brighter and pop more. Still not done though. Tomorrow is gift day...I'll keep working on this and post the final painting this weekend.

Last Supper Progression Day THREE

Today I added almost all the other disciples.  So far I'm up to 11. For these guys, I wanted to convey the feeling of a family.  I also added a spot of red paint on each of their heads to foreshadowing the blood of Christ about to be shed for them.  I liked the idea of illustrating the foreshadow of the cross, because to me that is what the last supper is all about. You know who is missing don't you?  Judas... he will be added tomorrow.  I needed a little more time to ponder what I want to do with him.

I had to adjust my original design a bit because the only large canvas I had was a bit different shape.  I may go back an try this on several connecting panels later.  Today I focused on getting the background done and added lots of bright colors to make it start to look like a stained glass window.  I have the beginnings of a few of the 12 disciples and the head of Christ so far.  


This was my palate for today's work. More to come...tomorrow!
