First Day (G1)

Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness.

God called the light “day” and the darkness “night.” And evening passed and morning came, marking the first day. -- Genesis 1:1-5

The study of creation is of great interest to me personally. I have dissected, studied, and taught on the topic. Many artists did a great job depicting this topic. My version combines digital and brushwork. I began each of the days with images of things created on that day according to Genesis chapter one. I then manipulated and distorted until just the essence of the colors remained. Layers of scanned brush strokes were then added. Finally, I printed the completed pieces on canvas and added texture and glass beads to complete the work.
