I Won't Back Down ~ Tom Petty with George Harrison, Jeff Lynn (ELO), Ringo
Well I wont back down, no I wont back down.
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I wont back down.
Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around.
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down.
Gonna stand my ground and I wont back down.
This calls for patient endurance on the part of the saints who obey God's commandments and remain faithful to Jesus. ~Revelation 14:12
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out.
Hey, uh huh, I will stand my ground.
And I wont back down.
Well I know what's right, I got just one life.
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around,
But I'll stand my ground and I wont back down.
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out.
I will stand my ground and I wont back down.
No, I wont back down.
Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him. ~ Hebrews 9:27-28

The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. ~ I Samuel 16:7

I found JM easier to paint than a few of the other faces in this first series.
He was truly beautiful in appearance…but what a torn and tattered soul inside.

PEOPLE ARE STRANGE:
“According to its 'ALLMUSIC' review, the song "reflects the group's fascination with the theatrical music of European cabaret. "The song is about alienation and being an outsider, and, as the aforementioned review also notices, Jim Morrison may have addressed the song both to the hippie culture, to outsiders in general, and/or to users of drugs such as LSD. The song was written by guitarist Robby Kreiger after he and a depressed Morrison had walked to the top of Laurel Canyon Drummer John Densmore believes that the song was the manifestation of Morrison's "vulnerability". "

Currently I am working on details of Stevie Nicks - I have had to use a combination of photos to capture her (she keeps leaning towards wanting to look like Meg Ryan). I am doing final touches on Freddie Mercury, Steven Tyler, and Phil Collins.
I won’t post FINAL WiP photos until they are hanging in situ at the restaurant! Do check back for more features on this series though!

Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin. But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
~Romans 3:20-24
