Portrait Of Jesus

In one of the blogs I posted before, I mentioned of painting Holy images. I painted the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary before in my inspired moods, and with my hands not shaking. I also asked another artist to paint another portrait of Jesus. I brought it to the Christ The King Seminary Store at E. Rodriguez around three weeks ago. I was a little disappointed with the one in charge of the consignments because she kept on repeating very expensive even though I priced it very low already. So we ended up with my labor for the two paintings costed at less than the minimum wage and not a single centavo profit with the other painting done by the other artist. I left it with them just the same.

When I sold two paintings recently, not mine and to be picked up next week by the buyer, I was thinking of advertising at Ebay the paintings under consignment at the seminary since my Ebay stocks is running low. I cannot use the money I will earn at Ebay to buy new stocks since it will be allocated for another expense. So I planned on pulling out the paintings and went there. I already told the lady who approached me that I will be pulling out the paintings and I was directed to a corner. And behold, there were the paintings displayed prominently among the garments of the priests looking so holy especially the portrait of Jesus done by the other artist. I felt that the three paintings have found their home and told them I will not pull them out anymore and to just call me up if they think I have to pull them out already. They told me it is up to me when I want to pull them out. I am inspired to paint Holy images again even though it does not pay well. Blessings will come in other ways.
