0.0 x 0.0

Oils on Canvas, mounted 3D. Originally it was just a challenges to paint the skin details of legs with a surreal twist and the more I worked on it the more I was inspired to read the story I had heard about Jesus. I started to study who this Jesus man was all about and I was lead to marvel at the spectacle His disciples must have felt when they experienced such an abnormal phenomenon. Then it dawned on me what about the birds that were there? Religion seems to have made it seem so unreal so I kept adding to the story some of the daily earthy stuff from around my neighbourhood. The more I read the more I had to add the symbols His life means to those who have chosen to believe what he did. It all seems so surreal, but real.
