Matthew 8:3 - Illustration

I wanted to complete an image w/ Christ in it.  I sat back & just let an image come to me & this is what I got.  Well...I added the cross, but I doubt the big-guy upstairs will mind.  I then looked up the verse(s) that pertain to Jesus healing lepers.  I'm still "getting my feet wet" when it comes to pyrography so I'm learning things as I go.  For example, you should ALWAYS, no matter how smooth the piece looks, sand the wood super smooth before you begin.  I did not & that's why you have so many dot like areas.  I almost scrapped it for this reason. However, i found I liked the stippling effect since it added to the old, tattered look of the robes.  I figured no matter what I was going to finish the work.  I'm glad I did.
