When I was a kid, I used to ask my Mom "What color is God?" Well, of course, God's son, Jesus, was blue eyed and fair skinned--at least he was in our church. I've attached a picture of another Jesus, the Mexican revolutionary, Jesus Rodriguez. He was not blue eyed nor fair-skinned. Like all good Mexican revolutionaries he was captured and later released. I originally did this portrait without the banner but added it later in honor of present-day Mexican votive paintings. And, hey, I got to use the GOLD paint because of it. By the way, "Gold" was the first answer my Mom gave me to my childhood question. God, Jesus and Buddha all deserve gold, don't you think?
