Portrait of Doctor L C Grant
Artist

Medium
Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
Portrait of the holiest man I ever met. The man is now in heaven I believe. If any man I ever met was the image of a "Moses for today" this was the individual. As my portraits are semblances of the real person, I show the hump in his back, which he carried well. The man was for a moment in time but I captured his eternal spirit. Compassion, sterness, and tempered with love was what he was about, just to name a few of his attributes. His almond colored complexion and skin tones actually glowed at times of great anointing. A pallete knife was used exclusively in this portrait. It was a labor of love experienced all through the many hours of layering hand-mixed peanut butter consistency oil paint. My first exercise in pallete knife, but certainly not the last. Dr. Grant's strong hands actually touched my forehead and I attempted to capture that in his semi-clenched fist. He as one sees in this image was an anointed man. Through his ministry many soul who would have been lost were saved. I created it in 1979.
