I want to see, Lord, oil on canvas £500 (plus postage and packing)

A sermon about Bartimaeus, the blind man healed by Jesus really brought this story to life for me. I imagined the scene and drew some inspiration from Rembrandt for the two main faces and the darkened nature of the background. The preacher described Bartimaeus as a professional beggar who was used to asking for food, money and help, but when Jesus came along, he recognised him as the Messiah and had the faith to ask for something he had never asked anyone else for- his sight!

The painting is 40cm by 50cm, painted in oil on stretched canvas. Please contact Sue if you are interested in purchasing it.

Painting tip- “It’s good to look at paintings by old masters for some inspiration. Rembrandt helped me a lot with this painting!” Sue Newham
