For good measure, some traditional art, a painting I made for my dad. A small copy of Christ Pantocrator. Acrylic on dollar store wooden panel. Not ideal, but worked after much sanding and many coats of gesso.

Image of Christ Pantocrator. A bearded man with long hair holds a closed New Testament with a golden cover I his left hand. In the center of the book is a cross of obsidian, with four groups of three white jewels, maybe pearls, at the four corners, bordered with more obsidian jewels. his right hand is held up with the fore and middle fingers raised, the remaining fingers touching. He is wearing a dark blue robe with a gold/red fabric just showing near the raised hand. Behind his head is a golden halo decorated with a simple motif painted in red. He stands in front of a town, flanked by two golden domed buildings that rise above the other white structures. At the horizon a dark blue sea, the same color as the robe, meets with a lighter blue sky, decorated with stars.
