Omgosh... Let me start by admitting, I had way too much fun taking selfies with Jesus!
My forest Jesus is done.. he needs a clear coat, tomorrow we'll take him out to the forest where I like to sit & attach him to a tree. I also told Storm I want a trail camera hooked up on him as I know animals will see him too - like the time I had the 'goat I painted hanging on the gate & had photos of dogs looking at him in the middle of the night. Arrow seems as interested in Jesus as I am and kept photobombing Him. I could have made Him more realistic - more Jonathan Roomie Jesus but then I'd be 'ooogling' JR and not JC... lol, so I painted from imagination and am pleased with my representation and his slight smile & wide pupils. Our pupils dilate when we love someone and this Jesus loves everyone that looks upon him. Painted with lots of love for my creator & His son our Lord.
I painted just 1/2 the verse thinking anyone who knows, knows... and that's all that matters right there - the amount of Love God had for all of us, the world, that He gave us his only son and we know how the story goes. I painted the letters with special violet iridescent paint that appears to 'glow' when the light hits it just so. I know I say "it was a pleasure to paint" but this one really was! It had me smiling at Him & thinking about Him the entire time while listening to Gospel classics like 'In the garden, by Josh Garrels & 'God's country by Blake Shelton to name a couple and lets not forget Elvis gospel, Patsy Cline & K.D. Lang. Listening to the right mood music can also be very inspiring for your art. So, now I have my own tribute art to put in the forest and for many years to come - God willing.
I had a few ideas as I was painting and think I will create them also, Jesus with more of a nature appearance for the woods... a large St. Francis for the forest critters, one fitted with a bowl I can place seeds/peanuts in! Michael the Archangel perhaps up in a tree waiting and always ready to battle Satan. I wonder if I'll get some bear or deer selfies' with Jesus! I'm excited to find out. It's a visual reminder for me (not that I need it - I like it) that Jesus is with me, always.
The lessons he taught us and the unconditional love he shows us all. I guess it will just be me and the critters for selfies, unless company wants to walk the woods. (if they can find Him), not such an easy task at times - now the walk will be all the more worthwhile!

I hope I've inspired someone to create their own Jesus!
On the desk in a twirling Warner Brother cartoon creation for a new set I'm starting... just because it also makes me feel good & that's what God wants - for us to enjoy our lives and be grateful for each day and every blessing! Enjoy this day the Lord has made - You were created to create! & praise Jesus!
