6x6 Crown of Thorns, Acrylic # 7

6x6, Acrylic. This is the last one in this Crown of Thorns series. Did a total of 10 to give to family for Christmas. It was fun to paint the same composition with different color combinations. This project also pushed me to try acrylic for the first time due to dry time issues! I found that I like it. It's nice and quick, mixes differently than oil and there is less of a danger to muddy your colors. Thank you for looking!

1 John 5:3
"In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the son of God."

6x6 Crown of Thorns, Acrylic # 6

6x6, Acrylic. Got behind with posting with all the Christmas activities. This image of Jesus seems so at peace and happy. I like the red background on this one. Thanks for looking.

1 Peter 4:10-11
"Each of you has bean blessed with one of God's many wonderful gifts to be used in the service of others. So use that gift well. If you have the gift of speaking, preach God's message. If you have the gift of helping others, do it with the strength that God supplies. Everything should be done in a way that will bring honor to God because of Jesus Christ, who is glorious and powerful. Amen."

6x6 Crown of Thorns, Acrylic # 5

6x6, Acrylic. I decided to go with a bronze color for the hair this time. Then scattered the same color throughout the face and beard too. Can't quite tell from the photo but this bronze color has a little glitter to it. Fun to work with. Thanks for looking!

1 Thessalonians 5:9-11
"For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing."

6x6 Crown of Thorns, Acrylic # 4

A 6x6, Acrylic. It's getting difficult to come up with different color combinations! One of my fellow artists that paints with me on Thursdays suggested the pink color hair. Decided to go with the compliment colors of green for the skin. Thanks for looking.

Mathew 10:32-33
"Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven."

6x6 Crown of Thorns, Acrylic # 3

A 6x6, Acrylic. Came up with this really neat grey color on my palette. The acrylics mix a little differently than my oils. So I am constantly being surprised with what I end up with! I have done a total of  7 of these little 6x6's. Four more! Thanks for looking.

Mathew 25: 35-36; 40
"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. The King will reply: Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."

6x6 Crown of Thorns, Acrylic

6x6, Acrylic. Took the plunge and tried my first acrylic! Yikes but I had to work faster! This paint dries sooooo much faster than oils. With oils I could mess around and push the paint around, doodle, think, then doodle again. With acrylic..... you put the paint down.... make a decision... and then move on baby! Fun to do. Thanks for looking.

Ephesians 6:18
"And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people."

Crown of Thorns, 6x6

A 6x6, Oil, on a stretched canvas.This is the smallest I have tried this on. Went pretty quickly and had to use a little smaller brush. Used a mix of a couple different blues, a deep purple and the yellow as accent color. Fun to do!

John 3:16
"For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life."
