Balage. Yes, illustrating the Bible is a great responsibility and a great privilege too. Many thanks again for sharing your pictures with us and I look forward to hearing more from you on the blog. Looking forward to interviewing you soon too.<br /><br />JulieMom:<br />Hi JulieMom, Many thanks for your kind comments. I hope you and the girls like all the links. If your girls are into Bible pictures maybe they could email me some of their own. I've been thinking of adding a gallery of children's Bible pictures.Bible artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11875939553176288499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35459855.post-29060407070654399872010-05-28T07:57:55.715+01:002010-05-28T07:57:55.715+01:00Hi there.

I always wondered where the other Bible illustrators of the world were.<br />I feel like we artists have a certain responsibility when we put a face on the Bible and when we create a reality for the reader in need of visualization. In a sense we write history.Balagenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35459855.post-10626815220885501812010-05-17T16:27:26.166+01:002010-05-17T16:27:26.166+01:00wow...so cool!

If you look at the columns today, they all appear to be a sandstone color, but on closer inspection you can still see traces of all the original colors which have faded over time.<br /><br />Interestingly, these same faded colors appear on the Egyptian columns in the Old Testament Bible paintings by William Hole. He painted exactly what he saw in 1900 but didn't think to restore the columns to their former glory as Balage has done.Bible artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11875939553176288499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35459855.post-5914641577999025042010-05-10T01:36:44.570+01:002010-05-10T01:36:44.570+01:00Impressive work.
