Velvet Jesus and the Holy Spirit

I know I don't have Velvet to paint on, if I did I guess I would do Elvis. I did these via reverse engineering I start with by painting the Canvass all black and I drew as I painted. Also I have bought some different colors I still kept my Palette monochrome in a black/gray for this. Colors don't work well black I don't know why I did it this way just wanted to do something unusual.

In Western art history the dove symbolizes purity and is used to represent the Holy Spirit, if you have seen Icons or old church art you will see the dove, The Bible talks about the Spirit appeared as a dove over Jesus during his Baptism. As I have been to many of the finest cathedrals and basilicas in Europe there is usually a dove over the pulpits and the baptisteries. In Christianity, the Holy Spirit is the is the third person of the Trinity. As part of the Godhead, the Holy Spirit is equal with God the Father and with God the Son.
