This is my entry into Adebanji's book. His theme is the Homeless and the Poor.
We are participating in a group called "The Flying Moleskins". Each member has their own sketch book. He/she makes a drawing and sends the book to the next artist. Get ready, Vern...here it comes.
My Ohio county has around 8oo homeless. God loves the unlovable.

Hebrews 13:5&6 God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." 6So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"
Dean, this is a very powerful and meaningful piece of art! I know Adebanji will love it as I do. Again I'm feeling greatly honored to be in this artistic company. Kudos!
ReplyDeleteJUST SEEN THIS, it's INCREDIBLE!!!!!
ReplyDeleteShort of words............
What a great piece.
ReplyDeleteIncredible is right.
Wow, Dean, this is fantastic! Well composed and I love the way you handled the main figure's hand.
ReplyDeleteThis is a moving as your praying soldier Deano!
ReplyDeleteWOW.............. I am so honored to be pushed into creative work that speaks volumes. From the decisions of Adebanji about homelessness to your work Dean.
ReplyDeleteJust overwhelmingly beautiful and powerful.
Powerful work, Dean. I especially love the special bond between the dog and the homeless man. No need for words. You have said it all.
ReplyDeletePowerful seems to be the common sentiment, Dean. Your choice of color and line work really tell the story. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteI'm jumping in with the same sentiments; powerful, indeed. I really like the dramatic contrast between the man's face and his hand, also, the line work is spectacular!
ReplyDeleteGreat on so many levels, Dean! Very illustrative and well composed. Those eyes speak volumes... and that hand is amazing too!
ReplyDeleteIncredibly moving and beautiful.
ReplyDeletePowerful seems to be the word for this piece, Dean, but powerful seems to be inadequate. Dean, this is beyond words. The artwork is there, of course, but the emotional impact is downright stunning. The addition of "man and dog, through it all" is nothing short of pure genius. I, too, feel so honored to be among such talented artists. And, Dean, your faith shines through in all you do...bless you.
ReplyDeleteThank you all! I am overwhelmed and honored by your response.

Thanks, James, for your comment.
ReplyDeleteVery glad to know the faith shines through. Thanks for saying so.
Dean, Dean, Dean, I just got home and saw this little masterwork in person. All I can say is, wait till everyone else sees it in real life...what a treat.
