11 inches x 14 inches, Canvas with oil paint
Over Spring Break this year, I toured an outdoor art festival in Florida and the oil paintings by Zhou Yu really inspired me. The flowers and shells that were depicted looked so real it was hard to believe they weren’t photographs. I’ve always loved realism, so I wanted to come home and try to create something life-like myself. I chose to depict one of Jesus’ miracles of the feeding of the 5,000. The intricacy of trying to create the basket and the fish really intrigued me and I wanted to challenge myself.
