Sacred Heart of Jesus after Pompeo Batoni, Terry Nelson, 2011
Acrylic on panel. 11 x 14
I worked on this painting very slowly, spending only an hour or two a day, a few days a week. I didn't want to finish it. I still have a few more glazes to apply and blend. The painting is for a large, tabernacle type, retablo frame.

Magnificent! Sacred Heart of Jesus, Have Mercy on Us!
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on me a sinner.
Beautiful faith-filled work, Terry.
Thanks very much Paul and Fr. Joe. I finished it yesterday and will likely do another scan before framing.
So beautiful! He looks just like your child Jesus.
Ooh, that is just beautiful!! I have thought about attempting to draw the SHOJ for some time now, but the idea intimidates me. Terry, you have done it justice!
Keep it up!
Nan - It does? It may be because the pose is the same - with the hands and the heart that is. Thanks.
Kim - thanks. I was very much intimidated to approach painting the image. I hope it is pleasing to him.
He is Love and you have painted Him well. :)
God bless you Terry and his continued blessing on your art making.
Thanks very much SF and Owen.
