A Cinematic Oil Painting Of The 'Harvest Of Reward.' Glowing Silhouettes Of Souls Gathered In Celestial Halls Made Of Clouds And Art

At his Grandmother's house in Penang, Wing Sun is lying down on a futon in his bedroom, covered up with a beautiful lightweight quilt Grandma made. Outside his room the rain is coming down. In Penang, every corner of the old town—every whisper of the wind through ancient trees—seems to echo with promises of renewal and love. And as the rain softens outside, Wing-Sun closes his eyes with the comforting knowledge that every detour, every farewell, is simply a step toward a new beginning. A lantern gives soft light to the room, and all is quiet.

First century Jerusalem at the "gate beautiful" to the temple grounds. Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate to ask alms of those entering the temple. Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked to receive alms. And Peter directed his gaze at him, as did John, and said, “Look at us.” And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them. But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” And he took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong.

An Asian Slice At the dark end of an alley on a moonless night, A youth squats low to the ground, turned toward the wall with his face in his lap. Someone might think he’s sleeping. He’s smoking heroin. Soon he’ll fall over and soil himself, and stay right there until dawn. Back at the neon-lit mouth of this dark alley, hookers walk back and forth, hurrying to get past the alley, either for fear or because is smells so bad. Eyelids, all painted golden, Asian whores always look like they’re made of candy. Candy it is; but a snarling cat awaits its prey.

A highly conceptual and symbolic representation of Isaiah 48:5. Visualize a vast, ancient timepiece or scroll that is simultaneously unrolling into the present moment. The scroll is emanating a brilliant, glowing light which is eclipsing shadowed, shattered fragments of carved wood and broken metal idols scattered at the base of the image. The style should be highly detailed, luminous, and inspired by Baroque painting, emphasizing dramatic contrast (chiaroscuro) between the divine light and the darkness of human-made deities.

“But ask now the beasts, if they may speak to thee; and the birds of the air, if they may declare to thee. Tell the earth, if it may speak to thee: and the fishes of the sea shall explain to thee. Who then has not known in all these things, that the hand of the Lord has made them?” (Job 12:7-9, Brenton)

The People: In the foreground, the men wear crisp white linen robes with deep Tola-scarlet sashes. Every individual has a brilliant, glowing Golden Seal physically shimmering on their forehead, casting a divine light upward.
