I believe this ~~

I have a print of this portrait that I ordered from her gallery. I dearly love it.

God bless her talent. For some reason I've never been drawn at all to this painting, as to what Jesus possibly looks like.

Please understand that I am not trying to start a fight and am totally willing to admit that I am wrong. I post this with humility.

IMHO, Akiane greatly needs urgent prayer. ? Some of her newest paintings are extremely new age in orientation and explanation. They are very disturbing.

For example, this is from her website:

https://akiane.com/product/the-balance/

Please read her explanation of the painting and tell me that isn't totally new age.

:agree   I’m not a fan of the artist painter either.  She admits in the youtube she changed up the eyes to make it mesmerizing  … I’m sorry but I think she is nothing but a fraud.  And that story line of rescuing the original painting is just drama acting to get people to buy her paintings/prints.    Even Todd Burpo, Heaven is For Real,  claimed when he saw Jesus it was the same image of Akiane Kramarik's famous painting. :scratch:   Then it was later revealed he NEVER visited heaven.

Instead  … I believe Akiane got inspired by being a fan of Barry Manilow. B-)

And speaking of Barry Manilow … I love the song “Mandy” and I used to also love this one too “I write the songs” until my aunt clued me on the lyrics and warned me.    It will send chills down your spine because its really talking about satan being … “I am music” since he  lead in the singing in heaven. Ezekiel 28:13 “ … the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.”

I write the songs

I've been alive forever 😉 
And I wrote the very first song
I put the words and the melodies together
I am music 
And I write the songs

I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs

My home lies deep within you
And I've got my own place in your soul
Now when I look out through your eyes
I'm young again, even tho' I'm very old

I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs

Oh, my music makes you dance and gives you spirit to take a chance
And I wrote some rock 'n roll so you can move
Music fills your heart, well that's a real fine place to start
It's from me, it's for you
It's from you, it's for me
It's a worldwide symphony

I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs

I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs

I am music and I write the songs
