David hides from Saul, 20 inches by 31 inches

I’ve got a series of work in progress images to add in to this picture which I will post up.

If you look through psalms you will see motions of moments when David, whom many of the psalms are attributed to, could have been looking back and remembering these moments as he was escaping Saul.
