Painting:  “JESUS AND THE CROSS”

Ken Smith, Artist

Ken Smith is the Indiana artist who was commissioned to bring JESUS to Life for People for CHRIST-PRAY Billboard Mission. 

When asked why JESUS had blonde hair he replied, “as an artist I was inspired to paint what I saw as a GLORIFIED JESUS with a haze of HEAVENLY GLORY coming from behind HIM as HE entered our visual realm. The brightness affects how colors are seen in the GLORY. HIS hair which would naturally have been darker, seen as an ordinary man before the resurrection, is now transformed by HIS GLORY. Yes, HE was Jewish with prominent features, but I saw HIS eyes as blue.”
