Imitate

Oil paint on 16x20 wrapped artist canvas (painted on all sides

I cant get it to look as good as it does in person....Not even close..... argh! Photo tips? I took the pic outside in the mid to late afternoon.

imitate- To follow in manners; to copy in form, color or quality. To attempt or endeavor to copy or resemble

This painting reminds me of being an imitator of Christ. With the clouds reflecting on the water. They dont look exactly the same but you can tell that they are reflected from the cloud. Its kinda like us. We are made in Gods image and even though we dont look exactly like Him, we reflect Him. The object is to reflect His glory back to Him by dieing to ones self ( self love) and living in Him (loving Him and others before ones self).

From 1 Thess 1--
you became imitators of us and of the Lord
you became an example to all the believers.

The reflection is not the cloud yet it puts its glory on display
