Aloe Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Most of you know that I'm an amateur artist, and so anytime my family needs something drawn or painted they usually call me. Today I spent the afternoon with my Grandma (love her!) and she asked me to do colored pencil drawings of some angels, and to base them off the Biblical descriptions for her to use when she teaches her adult Sunday school class tomorrow. She wanted a 1 foot tall representation of the 6 winged seraphim mentioned in Isaiah 6:2, and (more difficult) the four-faced cheribum of Ezekiel 10:14. The verse describing the seraphim just says that it had 6 wings, but the 4 faced cheribum... the verse says that one face is the face of a man, the other is of an ox, other is a lion, and the fourth an eagle. :mellow: So I started trying to visualize how on earth to make these things look realistic to their description and achieved a very 'mild' trance as I worked on my drawings. Well... I hope no one in her Sunday School has any esoteric knowledge because the pictures appear to be a winged Lillith, and some kind of cross between Horus and Baphomet. LOL!!!!

o_O Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Truthfully, that could be very well what the Bible was speaking of, as it is texts based on older texts of Mesopotamia and Egypt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree. Great project Aloe! I'd be interested to know how they go down in the class.x Thanks it was fun, I'm anxious to hear how they go over too. heh She should be calling me to let me know around 1pm CST, so I should know in a few hours. :popcorn: Blimey, Aloe! That was a bit of a challenge! Yea she never asks me to draw/paint anything simple. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aloe Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 Apparently, everyone loved them! I'm really humbled, I was worried that they wouldn't go over so well... RavenFlyer, next time I go to my Grandma's I'll see if I can make copies to scan in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
