Truly a beautiful and spiritual painting. I love your color palate in this painting. The story behind the steps is so intriguing, I am not sure I would be so willing to climb the steps on me knees. Fantastic work Donna!

A fantastic history and story to go with this beautiful painting, Donna. I really enjoy the color and textures in this and your play of light and shadow makes it even more a treat for the eyes as well.
