"Heavy Laden Burden" 24" x 18" Acrylic, Mixed & Gold Leaf on Canvas

Psalm 55:22 states, Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee. Jesus boar the burden of the world upon his shoulder while carrying the cross exhibited in the gold leafed abstract form. The black background represents the dark spirit of those who are ready to crucify him. The light brushes of read are reminiscent of the visual pain that Christ endured.
