Artist's Comments

4 x 6 inches, watercolour, gouache and gold ink, 2008.


This was a commission piece. The client liked one of my other Sebastian paintings and wanted a similiar piece. The previous painting he liked was an ACEO so I kept the figure and the sky similar but opened up the painting and revealed more of his body and the landscape in the background. I heightened the emotion of the piece with a more intense expression of sorrow on his face. The client was very happy with the finished painting.

Hes SOOO cute! I love his halo! And an arrow through the "pit" in his neck alone would have probably killed him :)

I think you have a soft spot for this fellow as well ... you render him so exquisitely. And I still have a sense of awe at the details you get in such a small format.

Artists are magical helpers. Evoking symbols and motifs that connect us to our deeper selves, they can help us along the heroic journey of our own lives.

Yeah..but we don't worry about that, he's a saint lol. Apparently the arrows didnt actually kill him but he went and caused a commotion and got beaten to death and thrown in the sewer. But for some reason the pincushion image is more popular lol
