Portrait of God

What does God look like?

I'm going to show you a painting, or rather, a photograph of a painting.

Just take a moment and stare at it.

What do you see?

If the answer is nothing, if it just looks black to you, don't worry, that's what I see

too.

But that's not what everyone sees.

The painting I've chosen for this project is titled "Portrait of God".

While most viewers see nothing, some insist they see a person in the darkness.

One they can describe and draw out with consistent details.

It's a man, or, close to a man.

You know, wrinkled, skinny.

- Really skinny. - He looks skinny. He's smiling. - He's grinning.

He smiles down at us.

Almost looks like the corners of his mouth got smudged.

Almost like he's wearing a mask.

It's-- it's too wide...

...and his eyes.
