This is a commission for a church in Phoenix. No matter what your religeous beliefs, it is a fact that his life is the centerpost of human existence. Everyone may not believe in him, but I think he believes in us. It was this that I was trying to convey in this picture. His mission was one of acceptance of us despite our occassional orneryness. A college prof once said that the air he had breathed had long since become so diffused that we are all breathing atoms of the same air that he breathed....I love that thought! I put the different races in as we are all equal. I hope I did it justice. I don't feel like he's mad at me, so it must be OK. Im wishing all of my friends here at AW the best of weeks to come!

Super artwork Keith!!! "Let Us created man in Our Imnage",...God speaking to His children,...us,...the angels. We look just as we did then in our spiritual bodies,...as does He when He came as Christ. Phillip asked in John 14,..."Show us the Father. Jesus answered, "Have I been so long with you that you do not know. When you have seen Me, you have seen the Father." Jesus is God the Father,...it sdays so in Issaih when it lists all His names. --good work--Cristina Marsi 22 Jan 2006
