St Sebastian praying for us...i amspeechless Terry. you know my devotion to this saint. i am...well...just speechless. Will send you an email on it.
Again, thanks very much.
Looks like you have a buyer Terry. Again, this is quite striking. Some may find it too modern but I don't go with that crowd. Hope you secretly signed it somewhere.
Owen, thanks much - I like to attempt a modern interpretation considering how painters of former centuries depicted the saints in the fashion of their era.
Looks like homo-erotica to me!
Anon - perhaps it's just in the eyes of the beholder.
Or, Terry, ....in the brush of the artist!
Google St. Sebastian and you will see numerous references to homo-eroticism in Renaissance artists' portrayals of Sebastian, both in painting and sculpture.
Do your portrayal of the female nude have such erotic undertones as this painting of Sebastian?
Regards, love your work!
or...the brush of the artist!

Today we celebrated our titular feast day of Saint Sebastian. Sorry to hear this one sold already!
I love this painting. My father's name is sebastian. All drawings are fantastic. Congratulations
Terry, this is just so stunning, I LOVE your modern take. I keep coming back to it. Would you by any chance have a print available?
