Tio Silla - Artist
Storm
My version of the painting - 1633 "Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee" by painter Rembrandt. 11/2022 I started by picking this painting to try, it would be a great learning experience. It was very intimidating so it took time for me to move forward. In May 2023 I did the sketch. It wasn’t until Sept 2023 I actually started the painting, I had no idea if I could do it. It took until 11/2024 until I finished it, this was because it was very difficult and I made every excuse to procrastinate (I worked on about 20 other paintings). I finally finished it. I’ll wait 6 months before I varnish it.
