The Soul’s Sincere Desire
“The Soul’s Sincere Desire.” Painted in Photoshop.
I wasn’t really happy with my execution of A Child’s Prayer, so I decided to try again with a different process, this time using a single layer and a single oil brush (Kyle Webster’s “Sargent 2017”), with the brush size kept small and with very limited undos. (Disclaimer: I did add a couple final texture layers at the end.)
I loved it. It was much more like analog painting than my normal process is, and the final result turned out much closer to the aesthetic I’ve been aiming for the whole time with these minimalist religious pieces.
Also, painting all those dots took forever.
Morning Feed
Figured it’s time to get back to doing kid lit art. This one was fun:

The square represents the bread and the body of Christ; the circle represents the water/wine and the blood of Christ.
INRI

INRI stands for “Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum,” the inscription from John 19:19.
New to me: the history of the name Bluetooth. The logo (so obvious in hindsight) comes from the Danish runes for H and B (after King Harald).
