This is a reboot of a postcard I had made a while ago. I decided I wanted to do it over again in oil paint, and incorporate the text more with the image. The first go around I had done the whole thing on the computer because of the text, and still I just wasn't very satisfied with how it came out. But who can hand letter type anymore? Turns out, maybe I can... a little. I think that in the version the text isn't punching you in the face, but takes more of a backseat to be seen as part of the image adding a supportive role and another layer of meaning. I enjoyed making it, I hope you enjoy perceiving it.
"1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." John1:1-5
This has been one of my favorite passages to think about.
