The first thing I did after the new year was paint this series of little Christ images. They were inspired by my earlier 40 Christ Portraits project and additionally by the Shroud of Turin–thus the subtitles “golden shroud” and “grey shroud”. The paintings were made on muslin cloth gessoed to the panel beneath. I made the edges of the fabric part of the composition to heighten the shroud theme. These pieces will be part of my March show at Authenique Gallery in St. George. The paintings range in size from about four inches to seven inches.
