Jesus According to Ashleigh at age 15 (2)
This is one of those pieces of art that I find visitors to my home either love or just don't understand. This is Jesus in the eyes of a very creative and talented 15-year-old girl, a girl who is now a woman of 21. If you just LOOK at the painting -- and to give it justice, it's nice to see it in real life, though I gotta say, this digital camera does a damn fine job of showing the color gradations (Husband, did I use that word correctly?) and the levels and the texture that is included just in the paint itself -- I can't look at this painting long enough. Part of my attachment is borne of the fact that I watched its conception, the splitting of its atoms and nucleic material into a living piece of art, appearing before me on the canvas in that blistering hot kitchen in the folks' house in LA.
That sounded really pompous, but damn, it's something to watch art happen out of the fingertips of a child. Especially when that art is something WAY beyond rainbows and horses.

It truly is a wonderful painting. Pass it on to her what I think of it. Great composition and skill. And PS, I know what I'm talking about. I was supposed to go to Art school. I like this piece a lot.
