ARTIST’S PERSPECTIVE

Jesus is portrayed utilizing an outline-stylized ink drawing technique. I have long searched for scripture describing Jesus’ physical appearance. I finally confirmed that Rev. 1:14-16 is the only scripture that provides this information. I let this scripture guide me in creating an image of Jesus after the resurrection. Thanks to my daughter’s research, I used a new technique to draw Jesus’ eyes so they brightly emanate his joyous everlasting love. Only by completely trusting and accepting Jesus’ love (and continuous prayer), did I have the courage and ability to accomplish this challenging mission. I am grateful for this opportunity to bring glory to the Lord with his gift of art.

SCRIPTURE INSPIRATION
