Quick Daily Painting #1: Baby Moses

I’ve started a new art challenge along with a group of Jewish artists on FB. The goal is to do a quick painting in about 30 minutes, with a Jewish theme for the month of January. I really want to explore some biblical scenes and personalities so, for my first painting I chose a scene that I find incredibly powerful and moving, as a mother…

I hope the subject is obvious but for those who are not familiar with it, it’s baby Moses and his mother  Yocheved, right before she sets him afloat on the Nile to save him from Pharaoh’s soldiers.

Vashti: What are you staring at?!

(Why does Vashti have a tail? What if I don’t want Vashti with a tail? Read my comments at the bottom of this post!)

Please share with your friends! Happy Purim!!

VASHTI UPDATE: I have been receiving comments from people that they’d like to have Vashti without a tail, so I have added it below.  If you are curious to know more about Vashti and why she had a tail (I always found her to be one of the more intriguing Purim characters) there’s a great history of Vashti here on Aish.com. It’s worth reading! Happy Purim :)
