By Pam LaVoy Baker

This portrait of Jesus was not only given in a vision, but directions for its creation were given in a series of visions over the period of ten months. The original oil on canvas is 60” x 40”, unframed. The image of Christ is life-sized and three-dimensional. Other materials used in this portrait include a fence rail post, hair, eyelashes, leather, metal, glass, rocks, and resins.

When taken to the Cincinnati Art Museum for appraisal, an unsaved curator exclaimed, “That is a subject I do not like! I want nothing to do with it! But, it is a style that has never been seen before, and it CAN NOT be ignored!”

Whether framed, transported, or displayed, this painting has caused intense reaction. The Face of Christ changes expression: from a distance, He appears to be smiling in the shadows; as a viewer approaches, the smile changes to a sigh. When close to the painting, what looks like shadows from a distance are now viewed as bruises. The Eyes include three-dimensional tears and look at the viewer from any position viewed. The facial expression also changes dramatically as lighting angles change.

The skin tones contain the colors of every ethnic facet of the human race- Jesus is the Second Adam!

Even unsaved people have viewed this painting and described it as beautiful- an amazing reaction considering the depiction of Christ’s Intense Sufferings for our healing.

Portraying the Blood and the Wounds was a very emotional task, but the artist was encouraged by the lord with these Words: “You must
paint the Blood. Yes, there is a lot of Blood. I didn’t pay a little bit of Blood for a little bit of healing. Many artists have tried to spare their viewers the emotional reaction by painting less Blood, but emotional reaction opens the heart, tears down walls, and allows many to receive who would receive in no other way.”
