It's done. It's hard to get the idea when you are not up close and in person because you can't see the details, but I'll try to explain it to you.
I used a texture medium called Gesso as my first layer. In the Gesso, I wrote about 60 different words describing who Jesus is. What He is to me. His role in my life. Then I let it dry for 423 years.
Then I painted over that with several layers of color.
I wanted these words in front of my face every day. I need to see them and be constantly reminded of His place . He is it, there is nothing else. And I tend to spend a lot of time trying to get the things He provides from other counterfeit sources.
That's just not a good use of time.
Here are some close-ups of a few of the words so you can see them better.

I know hundreds of you have been waiting since my original "blank canvas post" to see it and have put off your grocery shopping or house cleaning, or getting married, or having babies or whatnot in anticipation, and so now you are free to go on about your life.
.
I sure hope it doesn't take you too long to get caught up.

Takes my breath away. This truly is amazing Deleise. Can I have a copy? Seriously.
That is so cool, D. I cannot wait to see it up close and personal.
Love it!!! Can't wait to see it up close!
AWESOME. I want one.
You are awesome! I think you acheived what you were talking about when I was there. You wanted something Special. It is!
I may have to come steal it since I am unartistic and can't copy you. :)
That is so cool. I love the names of God and I do so often forget who he is.
I actually was waiting to see it! I really love it too! I'm wanting to get small ones for my boys to paint. That texture stuff might work good for them too.
absolutely gorgeous!!!
Deleise, that's really pretty. I went back and found your blank canvas post. :) I am that way too -- antsy if I'm not working on something.
Your canvas turned out great and I love how you let it stare at you until you had it figured out.

I LOVE IT.
I wont one.
You really could sell these. Have people give you the words they want included. Anyway, it's amazing. I'm so proud of you for actually painting anything at all, let alone something so amazing. A blank canvas can be all too intimidating.
I saw this on twitter, but I had to ocme over and tell you directly that it is the coolest painting Ive ever seen. You are very creative missy.
That is so beautiful! I love it.
Beautiful. I can't wait to see it on your wall.
