ora et labora  acrylic on wood  13x14 (sold)

This painting is a pain to photograph so there's a video on Instagram (@joe.olney) for another view. I got some inspiration from a Associated Press photo (photographer Tony Gentile) of the Pope visiting Cuba a while back. I was blown away by the composition and thought it was a good jumping off point. I might have to do a series of these at some point.
