Foreground elements

I decided to add  the deer in the foreground and this is what I did to figure out the best placement for them. I painted them roughly on a transparent sheet and moved it along the painting to decide the best  spot for them.

St. Veronica~Watercolor painting~20"X30"~Aruna Nitin Sarode

Merry Christmas and happy holidays friends. I thought it appropriate to share my painting of St. Veronica on this occasion.

 St. Veronica~Watercolor painting~20"X30"~Aruna Nitin Sarode

Her marble statue is at the St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. I was admiring the details on the fringes of her veil when I saw the face of Jesus on her veil. Then I read the brief narrative on the pedestal about her story. More than the face appearing on her veil, I was moved by her kindness, the beauty of human character in the midst of sacrilege. We need more kindness and compassion in this world.
