STAINED ASSASSINS 2

A stunning, cinematic oil painting of a dark assassin walking through the center aisle of a grand old Catholic church. The church is adorned with magnificent, tall stained glass windows on either side and in front of him, casting multicolored reflections. Sunlight streams more strongly through the left side of the church, highlighting the dust in the air and casting long, dramatic shadows.

The assassin wears a black, hooded cloak, partially obscuring his face, with a gleaming dagger visible in one hand. White doves, disturbed by his presence, take flight upward in graceful motion, their wings catching the colored light.

At the far end of the aisle, a priest stands with his back turned, unaware of the approaching assassin. The entire composition has the textured, emotive quality of a traditional oil painting — rich in warm tones, light, and shadow, evoking both beauty and tension.
