I wasn't trying to be religious. I...Thanks Pat. I wasn't trying to be religious. I just felt like drawing Jesus in a byzantine kind of style. The members of the Burbank Art Association didn't seem to mind. In fact they got into it.<br /><br />I don't have negative attitudes about religion in the slightest. I think society is so way out of whack that anything that hints at religion is seen as something negative that should be attacked. Catholics have a high regard for the sanctity of life. I see how they take care of the elderly for example and all the good that has come from the Catholic community in America in spite of the scandals.<br /><br />Look at all the hospitals and schools that have been built because of religious people and organizations. I'm glad I was able draw Jesus in a way that I could explore his look creatively without experiencing hostility. <br />Charles Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05167263458388832364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23145486.post-72516795336193492242013-06-21T19:50:32.592-07:002013-06-21T19:50:32.592-07:00Nicely done Charles!

It reminds me of the stained glass art style at my local church in New Jersey. It's also nice to hear that the drawings of the Big J got good response.<br /><br />I'm also proud to say that I'm Catholic and proud of it too!<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473670162633640929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23145486.post-15507101885738958842013-06-21T13:16:48.618-07:002013-06-21T13:16:48.618-07:00Thanks Jacob.

Everyone present seemed to appreciate it. Some of the artists there joined in with drawings of their own.Charles Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05167263458388832364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23145486.post-36331383477677180322013-06-21T12:15:13.747-07:002013-06-21T12:15:13.747-07:00It's cool to see you draw some religious art C...It's cool to see you draw some religious art Charles.
