A commission that didn’t happen. A friend asked for a painting based on a mural, which she’d fallen in love with, in Sucevita Monastery in Romania. The mural depicts the third day in Genesis when God fills the Earth with vegetation.

Photos of the Romanian mural are a tad muddy, so I thought I’d tidy it up (pictured.)

My version was perhaps too tidy. My friend didn’t like it, so I painted it over. We both agreed it wasn’t my style anyway, but it was fun to paint.

Acrylic on canvas. 24 x 24 inches.
