Thy Will Be Done by Morgan Weistling - 2 Unframed Options
Open Edition Canvas - 11x14 and 18x24 The difference between a magnificent work of art and an illustration lies in the artists passion for the subject at hand. Such is the case with the power of Morgan Weistlings Christian art. This painting is a portrait of prayer, says artist Morgan Weistling, and its title comes from that moment in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matt 26:39), hours before his crucifixion. I was inspired to paint this by the number of times the Bible refers to Christ going off alone to pray to his Father, for example in Luke 5:16: But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed. I wanted the viewer to imagine how Jesus would look if you were to come upon him in a private moment of prayer. The painting emphasizes his strong carpenters hands, clasped in prayer, representing his communion with the Father. As I painted it I also thought about the importance of praying not only in times of need but often, and thoughtfully, just as Christ did. 2 Options Available - see drop down box for pricing.
