He is the sacrificial lamb, who did what no one else could, dying voluntarily to redeem us all. In this painting, I wanted Jesus to resemble the image on the Shroud of Turin, the closest reference we have to Him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI also realise now that I am the sheep that was once lost. I finally heard His call in the darkness and we were reunited. He holds me close, protects and comforts me, as He does for all who are found by Him. When we stay close to Him, held by Him and surrounded by His light and tender love, we can trust in His unconditional love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtwork details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 × 60 cm (20\" × 24\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCanvas depth: \u003c\/strong\u003e2cm (0.79\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oil paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSurface:\u003c\/strong\u003e Linen-treated canvas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate of creation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 May 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVarnish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gamblin Gamvar Satin varnish (12 September 2026)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReady to Hang\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs framing is a personal choice, please note that all paintings are sold and shipped as unframed, as standard shipping practice for Painted canvases. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis painting features a 2cm gallery-wrap profile and arrives ready to hang, unframed with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eD-rings\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and high-quality \u003cb\u003epicture wire\u003c\/b\u003e on the back of the wooden stretcher bars\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
