This is a 12″ x 16″ oil on canvas. I did a drawing of this a couple of weeks ago and have since done this oil painting. The idea was taken from a photo by Emilio Morenatti of the Associated Press and depicts some Pakistani men reaching out for bread being handed out near a mosque in Lahore, Pakistan. In the original photo the faces are blurred and one is struck by the number of hands reaching for sustenance. I added a few faces and have shaded them out. It isn’t quite finished but near enough. I will spend some time focussing on it to bring it to completion.

I absolutely love it! And I am also quite envious of your talent. I’ve always wanted to be able to draw and paint like that, but alas, I am just not talented.
It is beautiful Leslie! Thanks for sharing it with us.

I’m kind of tired because I’ve been driving down to see my brother a lot and he’s still in mourning for the loss of his wife in July. Thank you for asking.

Oh that’s an exciting point. It’s easy to overdo it, so it’s a little bit scary to finish a painting I think.

Sometimes I think it is finished and I come back and see something that I do to it.
