I'm starting a long Jesus series, and this is where it begins. Bold black outlines hold everything in place — a calm, straight-ahead face in cool grays, a beard drawn in clean black-and-white stripes, and one unapologetic stripe of yellow running right down the center. The magenta background hums behind it all. It's a portrait of a familiar face done in a way you haven't quite seen, equal parts pop art and street energy. This original 11x14 acrylic on canvas wants a real wall — an entryway, a reading nook, an office that could use a little conviction.
