The Temptation
Piece Two in my HSC body of Work. The series in total is called “Ascendancy” which means domination or influincing figure, but also has connotations to the ascention of Mary in Christianity. Basically what i tried to do was to show how humanity’s expression of faith has changed, evolved, or even stayed the same. “The Temptation” refers to the temptation of Christ by the devil (40 nights in the desert, etc)

I adore this piece..
I stare at it every day on my desktop, and I love finding all of the little details and tones and marks, especially her right hand.
She has that eye that just follows you everywhere… lol

Fantastic. The woman’s eye is strong and defiant. Love the muscles on the man’s back, so detailed and perfect. Wonderful image.

Wow. You have great talent. Your ability to turn a 2 dimentional piece of paper/canvas into a 3 dimensional form is amazing. I am in awe.
