What did you have for breakfast?
Almost daily, as I prepare these threads, I am dissatisfied with the art I find—because it is so inadequate at illustrating the text. Today, for example, every single image portrays Z-in-the-tree. That merely illustrates his curiosity. Where is the art showing Jesus’ willingness to sup-with-a-sinner, with its implicit challenge, or Zacchaeus’ repentance at refunding-his-funding?
And that doesn’t begin to address the multitude of Bible passages which generated little or no art at all!
“the art I find... is so inadequate at illustrating the text.”

Good point Dan. It looks like the artists depict the ‘most visual’ part of the story. But how to paint repentance and a new life? That’s just not as flashy I guess.
I like #4.
