Alla Prima technique. This painting is 12"x9" inches. In the Bible, the book of 1 kings,  there is a story about a miracle worker, a prophet.  The story of the prophet Elijah always fascinates me. Elijah was fed by ravens twice a day. Ravens usually eat everything from dead animals to greens, you name it. But they had a mission to feed Elijah. I painted one of the moments.
