Esther’s Prayer = Original Painting

A painting of Esther in prayer. Original Art work by Christina Pickle. Acrylics and oils, on archival board. 12"x9". Inspired by: When I think of Esther from the Bible, I wonder what her life must have been like. As a young woman she gave up the dreams of having a normal family, marrying someone she loved. I would imagine so many other things that she had dreamed of were also set aside. Now, she was married to someone whom she couldn't even approach whenever she liked. She gave up a lot, but in the end it was worth it because she was able to save her people from destruction.
