My Eyes Have Seen The Glory


                       Still loving the Song Theme.    This is a painting inspired by the  book ,  Roll Jordan Roll.    The photographs are by  one of my favorites, Doris Ulmann.   I did my initial  drawing with a  paint brush attached to a stick so that my lines would stay loose and gestural.  Decided to keep the original lines and   monochromatic pallete with a few  hits of light paint .    Hoping your Sunday is full of Glory!
