Description Illustration for the Bible story of Elijah, and the ravens sent to help him as he hid from persecution in the desert.

Thanks to e-c-h for help in making an old work in progress interesting enough to finally finish
Featured here - thank you! ISAIAH, Chapter 6.....WHEN I was in grade school--5th or 6th, can't remember--I was chosen to do a reading at Friday Mass during Advent; the reading was Isaiah, chapter 6, and the imagery of it never left me...

I imagine he must have been a little nervous when the angel brought that burning coal over to touch his lips!  

OH!!!  Check THIS out...a portrait of me, by :iconphloxflammula:

Cool! I just realized some of your art (well alot, at least to me) ... in the faces and figures ... looks like those old religious icons, only your art is incredibly modern.

Oil + Digital... amazing... I love the colours and the stylish hands, face. Very unique. I could recognize your style anywhere... modern yet classic! I am a bit scared of the Ravens, but his soft face is so beautiful... what is he feeding them??? I am bad for reading Bible stories, I try to read them, but never get them... I promise, maybe it`s the symbolism... it`s very unique like your work!

joeyv7 In reply to Veronika-Art [2011-03-10 15:54:45 +0000 UTC]

thanks Vero - well, Elijah was a prophet, and told King Ahab things he didn't want to hear, so Elijah had to hide out in the desert as Ahab wanted to kill him. He might have starved but God sent ravens to feed him, so he's taking food from them. I don't know a lot of Bible stories either, but they've been illustrated for eons, so I wanted to do one that interested me visually Glad you like this one!
