Painting:  “JESUS AND THE CROSS”

Ken Smith, Artist

Ken Smith, a resident of Martinsville, Indiana and a member of Spirit of Life Church where Lisa attends is the artist who painted JESUS AND THE CROSS. Lisa had seen his LION OF JUDAH painting and knew he was the one who could bring her vision of JESUS to Life for the PRAY Billboards.

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.”
