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.
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.

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

Going to Church doesn't make you a Christian anymore than standing in a Garage makes you a car...
