11 years to draw a unique portrait

[PT7]

Yesterday this comment was made about the creative skill of the artist, who drew the buck painting I have. The buck's head and antlers were painted using the "pointillism" technique.

I think that is incredible! Basically painting a picture one pixel (ink dot) at a time! To be able to see that in one's creative mind's eye is astounding of the artist.

Today I was sorting through some storage boxes, and came across another unusually-created etching, the now-classic Jelinek painting of Christ's portrait. It is titled "The Gospel According to St. John." My wife and I found it in a hole-in-the-wall shop in Colorado Springs during a camping trip we did in the mid-1980s. We both thought it was an amazing work of art, bought a poster copy (17" x 21"), and had it mounted on 1/4" foam core when we got home. Not only was the artwork amazing, the creative skill of the artist was astonishing, as well. Here is the painting....enjoy.

P.S. Sorry about the portrait photo....tried every which way to get the orientation correct.

I really don't know what to think of this. I'm sure this was a "part time" job to say the least, but still

Don't want to get inside this person's head but.....................

On the other hand, maybe centuries from now
