Jesus and the Lamb

I copied this painting of Jesus and the Lamb as I was learning to paint under my master teacher Frank Covino. The original artist is alive today so I asked him permission to copy his painting as long as I never sold it or made any money off of the painting. I loved the way the original artist showed our Lord lovingly holding the sick lamb. The artist told me that the lamb they borrowed that day was actually sick and the model was concerned. He originally was going to have the lamb on his shoulders but the lamb was limp. The artist caught the emotion of the love this model of Jesus had in his painting. That is a sign of a true artist. I had to copy this painting!
