For the first time in my life I get to see the real Jesus I saw . It's amazing and now feels real I am not crazy because this is the real image of Jesus that I met.
Natalia Padilla (Author/illustrator/Musician) praises Akiane Kramarik for her exquisite paintings of true talent...please review Natalia's you tube video of her playing her created song "GOOD NIGHT" @
I drew Jesus right now based on Ms. Akiane's painting but I wasn't a good artist, I drew him standing and raise up his arms, looking like he is ready to hug, and I add a heart on his chest, because he loves us
Wow good job I ain't good painting of Jesus but I am a basic drawing or painting of Jesus. I love Jesus so much.. I always have visions or out of body experience and a near death experience. I did met Jesus 5 time. Jesus is very sweet and heart and beautiful smile and glorious. He is a taller about 6"3 than I am 5"1. I was hug him. And I walked with him. Jesus and I were laugh and joke. He is the good brother to me. He is the good joke person. He makes me ☺ smile. Jesus is in my heart forever.
This is a very skilled painting, but it is not in the likeness of a our Savior! Akiane got it right the very first time!!! Her portrait of Him is indeed Him!!!
Just my personal opinion, no judgement from me. I think that this portrait violates the second commandment. It is, and will be, revered and worshiped by some. The temptation for humans to worship "things" is enormous.
If you're praying to the picture and not God, then you break the second commandment. If it's a picture of something, it's not. It's that simple, really.
She claimed to be 9 years old when she painted this. May or not be. One should not underestimate the imagination of a 9 year old. I know because I have a 9 year old kid.
