Shabbat Project

Shabbat Candles by Rabbi Yitzchak Besancon.

Planning my next painting...

After completing the 12 Tribes of Israel project I look forward to embarking on the next painting - Shabbat. One artist in particular inspires me, and I think this next painting will incorporate elements of his style. I am talking about Rabbi Yitzchak Besancon (see image to the left). I love the detail in the flowers, challah cover, curtains, candle sticks and window sill. The expressions of the mother and child are particularly captivating, and the artist's use of colour makes me want to take up my brush now and begin to paint.
