This piece has taken much sweat and frustration and four goes but I've finished this Laudamus Te! What do you think? I think its a bit like a spicy pizza and was worth the stress. As a creative have you experienced this kind of hard work to get something different created? Please can subscribe to my YouTube channel. Thx

This painting is a personal one,and even anyone can relate with their own story.

I wanted to share with our Creatives Arise community that my artwork 'Emmanuel - God with Us' has just been recognized with the SPECIAL FEATURED ARTIST of DISTINCTION AWARD on Fine Art America! I'm humbled and honored to be selected. I hope you all take a look and enjoy the painting! This soulful painting portrays Jesus standing serenely behind a young, tearful child, gently reassuring him with His enduring love, peace, and comfort. The boy cradles a small lamb—an emblem of the saving grace found in the sacrifice of the Lamb of God. Fully embodying both humanity and Divinity, Jesus understands the struggles we face in this world. Surrounded by an ornate 'gold simulated frame', the image evokes reverence and Divine authority, beautifully capturing the heart of our Savior.
