I did not choose a specific painting; instead I looked at every painting, comparing them to what I knew about the Bible. As I walked into the gallery, to my left were paintings that had colors very similar to the cover of the Old Testament text that we have. They were bold and almost looked as if they were in a microscopic image. This similarity made me think of the life of Jesus, and the grass and land God created. The bright colors reminded me of the way to heaven, as it appears on the cover of the text as well. Other paintings looked like a glass image, church like and very religious. I also noticed a lot of Japanese paintings, which makes me think of the name Yahweh and the way the Japanese worship Jesus, which is very different than the traditional way. Walking by each painting I came across many cultures and people placed in several different situations; war, weather, and time periods throughout history. War is something God tells us people that we will face and everything that God stated in the bible was shown through each painting. One painting that stood out to me was the painting of Adam and Eve. The nudity that was shown was a signal of shame and sinning. Overall, each painting related to the Bible in its own way, whether it was the creations of God or the disobedience of Adam and Eve.
