In The Image of God

In The Image of God

I was working with a combination of an image I got several years ago from a newspaper story about the shroud of Turin. The original image was very poor and I had to recreate the face using the newspaper image as a model. Then I worked with I worked with Micrografx, Photoshop and Apophysis to create the finished work. I experimented a little and got several works that I really like. I hope you enjoy them.

Although we do not know what Christ really looked like because the Hebrew people did not draw or paint images of anyone because it was against their religion, we do have ideas we have formed based upon legend and theories that have been passed down through time and have become a generally accepted image that comes to mind when we think of Christ.

I will be posting several that are part of this series and they are all enspired by scripture from the Holy Bible. This is the third of nine in the series. We do not fully understand how we are made in His image, but we know we are always in a struggle between the flesh and the spirit. Here I depict the spiritual part of our nature.

Ge 1:27: So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Ge 1:31: ¶ And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.
