He’s had the longest career of any artist in history, and at a considerably advanced age is still crafting new works. He creates in every medium–sculpture, engraving, painting, even performance art–and the scale of his work runs from the subatomic to the cosmic. Some of his works last for microseconds, others for eons. Have you guessed who he is?
Here are some examples (click on images for description & slideshow):

Algae

Performance Art
His performance art has also been on display throughout history. This piece, the Sea of Galilee, is notable in that the Artist made a personal appearance, sailing and even walking upon it.
“He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him…but to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God, i.e. to be personally signed works of art.”
~John 1:10, 12
Who is the artist, please? 🙂 He is Italian?
Yes. And French. And English. And African. And Chinese. And…
LOL 🙂 Thank you for making me laugh. 🙂
The Master Himself.
HIS handiwork is the most beautiful art there is!!! Thank you for sharing it with us 🙂
The pleasure’s mine, truly.
Such marvelous mysteries! Beautiful post, Mitch.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (Gen. 1:1) And, God saw that it was good.

I agree the father of all artists!
Honored, Claire!
An excellent post – honoured to pass it on.
Well, I’m going to say that it’s not Michelangelo. :O)
This is such an awesome post, Mitch… if only there could be an icon for ‘love!’ I am speaking next weekend at a women’s retreat…theme being, “God’s Masterpiece” …so I have been giving this topic much thought lately. Thank you for feeding my very soul! You truly are among HIS greatest Masterpieces.
Oh, Dori, so far from it, but thank you for the kind words, nevertheless. You too!
This is truly awesome – Love it.
Glad you enjoyed it, Pat!
Awesome! Hey, do you have a category on your site just for your movie’s progress??
Not quite, Liz. I’ve written several “A Filmmaker’s Journey” posts, so you could type that in the search box, but I haven’t been very methodical about it, I’m afraid. Thanks for asking. We’re in the second phase of editing currently, about to start adding music before trimming it a bit tighter.
YEA!!
I love this. The pictures are nice too. Why can’t the world have a day where we all praise the master artist?
One day it will.

Really beautiful pictures. Thank you.
Magnificent is all His creation! Glorious color, amazing snowflakes, each one unique, just like all living art. Thanks for sharing some of His “Be still and know that I am God” pieces.

I’m doing storyboards today for my current feature film, and can almost imagine myself as an artist–almost. Here’s a short post from a couple of years back featuring the greatest artist of all time.
Amen!! This is a post that seriously speaks to my soul. But you knew that, didn’t you? 😉
Yep. ;>)
Beautiful post, Mitch. Thanks!
How do you do storyboards? Sketch them?
Yes. My quick sketch skill are limited, but they do in a pinch.
