Jawboneby ~DouglasRamsey

Traditional Art / Paintings / People

Acrylic on hardboard, 18" x 24"

When Samson came to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting to meet him. Then the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon him, and the ropes that were on his arms became as flax that has caught fire, and his bonds melted off his hands. And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and put out his hand and took it, and with it he struck 1,000 men.

(Judges 15:14-15)

"One man with God is always in the majority." - John Knox

Samson always reminded me of a good Conan story. You seem to have captured some of that here. Great work.

It’s difficult for me to picture Samson’s battle at Lehi without thinking of Frazetta’s Conan paintings. In fact, I wonder if Samson wasn’t the inspiration for Frazetta’s long-haired, muscular version of Conan, since he wasn’t described that way in Howard’s stories. Thanks much.
