Art painting---Genesis. The Big Bang

Artist:Martin Plant©2010

Genesis.The Big Bang. my catalog number 4413


Everyone wonders how the universe began. There are lots of theories out there. Not the least is one by Albert Einstein and his theory of the Big Bang. The Bible has another story. In Genesis it simply says that God spoke and he created. How`s that for technique.

Of course I wondered about it too. Being an artist I decided it would make for an interesting picture. I just closed my eyes and thought about the creation of the universe. I too wondered how it all began. I imagined that I was in the middle of nowhere. Somewhere out in space. All was blackness. Soon I saw a giant arm appear, robed in white, and it was holding a golden ball on a string.

As I watched, I heard a voice quietly speak. Then all of a sudden the golden ball trembled. I heard a deep rumbling sound. Things were now flying off and away from the golden ball, flying off in all directions at a furious speed. I imagined these things to be stars, suns, moons, planets. These objects were all of different colors and different sizes. Some were giant in size. Others were puny. All went whizzing off into the darkness. Millions of these objects, going everywhere.

The golden ball trembled all the while as these objects flew off from it. Millions of things spearing off in all directions.

I opened my eyes. Well, maybe that's the way it all happened. I then hauled out my paints and brushes and I went ahead and did it.
