Your painting is beyond beauty, to be spurned by a priest must not bode well for him do you think? surely a priest by job title alone. We are all gods children.

Victoria, BC - Canada

I like the strong contrast in colour. You`ve captured the regretful moment of his confession. I read the story. So, I think that when you painted this work, you dreamed that the rude priest was confessing with his God. The incident had its deep impact in your subconscious, you were still thinking of it, when you wrote the description: It seemed I could be sent to hell immediately if I stayed one more second.``. You have artistically turned your nightmare into a powerful work.

Denver, CO - United States

Venice, FL - United States

huh... so this is the priest that was yelling? Yea sound slike he over reacted a little, maybe a gentle touch on the arm and excuse me sir were under construction would have went much further.. :) I am happy that it inspired you to create this amazing piece, the technical skills are done beautifully and the grace of the subject matter makes me feel as if I am interrupting some personal moment..

What a wonderful story Xueling! There are so many emotions captured here. A terrific work!

Encampment, WY - United States

That you managed to create such a tranquil and deeply spiritual painting despite being chased out of the church is an amazing achievement in itself! If the priest had known that you could paint such a masterful expression of faith, he would never have treated you so! The richness of the deep browns and the flow of cool drapery gives this a poetic and emotional resonance.
