Moses' Fury: Stage 1

30" x 40"

Oil on Canvas

This idea originally came in the form of an ink drawing about 18 months ago, maybe longer.

It's been in my mind for a long time and needed to be realized.

Right now, the dilemma is:

1. How to show depth standing on the ledge of Sinai.

2. How to show the people scattering from the flames, maybe they should just fall off the canvas metaphorically into a pit, because they died anyway.

3. The fire. How should it look? It resembles the sky in Starry night a bit, and somewhat like a bouquet of roses. 

4. The hands should be realistic. 

5. His feet, I still think he'd see the tips of his toes standing on the edge. I don't think Moses was a hefty man with a belly so fat he couldn't see his feet.
