After the resurrection

A very powerful image.

What you say is spot on. This painting is very powerful.

This is excellent work. A very potent image, and I like the fact that you have filled the canvass with his face.

Excellent Michael.

Very arresting image, and I like the fact that you've not painted him as a fair-haired Westerner, as so many painters once did.

A superb image Michael.

Thankyou for the nice comments. Yes as I understand it he was indeed an Israeli jew so his colouring would have been quite dark. His skin sallow. His hair very dark brown or black. I even think its possible his heritage might have been mixed race. Asian maybe. To me he was probably the greatest philosopher maybe even beyond buddha. We have an understanding of buddha but some of the teachings of Jesus still amaze and stagger me 2000 years on. I think even Christians do not seem to understand much of his great message.
