Matthew- the Man


The background is from the Book of Matthew, a modern Bible. I am enchanted with the Four Gospels from the various Celtic translations. In the celtic world each of the Gospels is associated with a certain icon, called an Evangelist. For the illiterate people the icon of a man would symbolize the Evangelist of Matthew. They refrenced the different perspectives of each of the Gospels. Matthew, the very Jewish Gospel, has the Evangelist of the Man.
I'm experiementing with a more simplistic celtic cross. So far I like the results I am getting. It is much easier to see the Cross itself in this design.
