"Hallelujah"

16 x 5"
oil on masonite
sold

I've wanted to do this painting for a long time - a hallelujah chorus singing in the park, in Washington, DC. Very fun to paint, although it took a while to complete.

    This painting really captures the sense of singing! I am really drawn to how you captured the choir's varied and similiar expressions. Beautiful, as always!

    I want to pick up a hymnal and join them. If I stand way at the back they might not notice the squeeky voice.

    I want to say that your paintings are Rockwell-esque.
    That was a compliment at one time and then somehow Rockwell was deemed an illustrator not a 'real artist so it became a non-compliment.
    I think, now, it's back the other way and it's 'okay' to refer to him as an 'artist', so, now it's a compliment again ;)
    your paintings rock.
