This was a commission for an image of The Sacred Heart of Christ, which is a traditional image representing Christ Jesus and his sacrifice. Typically, there are thorns wrapped around the heart(symbolizing His crown of thorns he wore), a cut in the side(symbolizing the wound received at the hands of the soldiers who tortured him), a cross and flames,(symbolizing the burning passion of his love and his crucifixion and sometimes rays of light all around. Although, this client wished for the image to have a crown up top, which I think really added to the majesty of the whole idea. :) *If you'd like to make an art idea a reality, simply contact me here or through my bio page. I am available for regular commissions-big and small. size:4x6 media: mixed-ink,watercolor pencil, acrylics
