Lavender Girl with Shovel
The intense lavender color in the shirt reflected in the face is the essence of this painting. Hopefully it is reproduced by the red, green, and blue phosphors of the monitor and screen. The model is Melissa Joan Hart and detail is purposely sacrificed for the effect. At what is she looking? The scripture added from Psalm 103 gives some hint. “As high as the heavens are above the earth; so great is the Father’s love. As far as the east is from the west; so far has He taken our sins from us.”
