The Creativity of Godby ~AnimaxiomArt

Traditional Art / Mixed Media / Conceptual

Paper, 15" x 30"

This is a piece entered to a contest at a local church. The theme for the contest is "Creation". My grampa, who is 89, wrote the poem that inspired the piece.

"The word tells us that through Him and for Him all things were created,
That we are as clay in the potter's hands.
What kind of potter possesses the power to change the seasons
And the subtlety to bring forth a radiant flower from the smallest bud
Or endows a fragile monarch butterfly with the instinct to travel thousands of miles
Or through the thunder and lightning of a panoramic storm brings life-giving rain?
Who blesses a humble grain of wheat by some miracle to germinate and produce a stalk with multiple grains at its head?
When planted in great numbers it produces food for thousands.
The Word tells us that the pinnacle of creation,
The baby conceived in a virgin's womb by the Holy Spirit
Died on a cross to pay for his workmanship's failures
That if we believe in Him we do not perish but are re-created by nail-scarred hands
Emerging as from a cocoon
Raptured souls finding rest beyond the river
Glorifying the triune Creator forever and ever!

--Jack L. Griffin"

Beautiful. Stunning. I almost stopped being an atheist after seeing this - it is THAT good.

Fantastic colors and great composition. I love the general flow, and the hands at the top are a nice addition. How did you do the hands?

~AnimaxiomArt May 7, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Thank you, that means a lot coming from an accomplished designer, such as yourself.

The hands were sculpted by rubbing an embossing tool over the paper on top of a foam pad. Even though they look very dimensional, they are actually quite flat and depend on shadows and layering to make them "pop".

Very clever. I thought maybe it's white plastic. The tones remind me of those optical illusions with the hollow faces which look like a 3D face is looking right at you. This: [link]

Wow, this is impressive. It took me a while to notice every detail and admire each aspect. This is so elaborate and I like the poem, too!

~AnimaxiomArt May 5, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Thank you so much

~druid-owl May 3, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

This is beautiful, the amount of work and care put into this piece is a wonderful expression of your faith.

I am not Christian myself, but i do appreciate the beauty of open minded sharing of ones creativity.

~AnimaxiomArt May 4, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it

~AllanWES May 1, 2013 Hobbyist General Artist

wow, this is one of the most amazing and awe inspiring creations i´ve yet seen! i love the way the poem and the paper art flow together, i was for a moment enraptured as if they´d moved together and somebody else was reading this to me and showing me the images! I´m not religious at all, but your grand dad´s poem reflect such a respect and wonder for life that really struck me. Wonderful work, thank you for sharing!
