Artist's Comments

a Biblical work, done in oil.
another one of my favorites .
My brother posed for Daniel. The fact that his name is also Daniel inspired me to make this picture.

Words can not describe how much i appreciate each and every one of your comments ! It warms the heart.
Because i'm quite busy with other things aside from deviantART i can not reply to each person individually ( although i wish i could) but i DO read them all.

In my scrabbook you can find a picture of the painting in real life , giving you an idea of the actual size and colors.

more will be added later , answering a few of the questions asked in the comments.

Did you do the lions from observation as well, and what of the background cave? If you do these things from your head... woah. Even if you don't- your oil paintings are spectacular, like looking at a photo.

Oooh, I love that story. You gotta wonder what it stemmed from though, assuming it came from an actual occurance. Oh well, either way, lovely work on the lions and overall detail. ^_^
