Well if it was for money really good a man of course but, really I don't think he is or was real so for fun I would make him well truthfully the same as the others would ( like he is in a church)
Others think he is or was but how do we now did we see, hear, touch or smell him? No I don't think anyone from our time did.

With one's own feces.
Just kidding, sry god...
There's a pretty classic image of God. He's definitely old. Tall. Muscular, probably with a big hoary white beard. So why not go with that? Why ruin a good thing?

^Haha, like Zeus!

The doctors didn't know if my eyes would ever heal."

Whoops. That might be Disney's Hercules this reader was thinking of.
If you want to do a realist interpretation, you could mix your palette and then just not paint anything.
Personally, this reader would paint Dylan from the '66 tour.

Michelangelo's work:
Blake's plate:
Bartolommeo:
There are so many more... but this is all mainly the Christian God... we have even more of ancient Egyptian and Greek and Roman gods... and other 'Eastern' religions.
"All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours." -Aldous Huxley
"Sooner murder an infant in its cradle than nurse unacted desires." -William Blake
As to how I would paint him (if I had the ability to paint well)-- I would paint him as an amalgamation of different images... of Hindu gods and different humans with different skin tones and colors (and genders), and he would be beautiful and grandiose and a mixture of so many different ideas...
"All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours." -Aldous Huxley
"Sooner murder an infant in its cradle than nurse unacted desires." -William Blake
This is abstract and everybody paints God from the image he carries inside him.The image however is borrowed and that is why the painter of God lacks originality

Remember this, my friends: there are no such things as bad plants or bad men. There are only bad cultivators.
I think God is not something physical and therefore you can't actually paint him. I was christian, but right now I'm not into rites and the like. I imagine God as something blue or black, but it's not a fog or a cloud, it's just... some part of everything.
Глупость заразна. С больным можно не целоваться, не облизывать за него тарелку, не спать с ним вместе, не разговаривать, не касаться друг друга, даже не читать книгу, что он читал. Достаточно прочитать книгу, что он написал.
Thank you hart..I am glad you think it a good question.
Interesting that you would not paint a portraybut rather a landscape which makes lots of sense.

thanks PP for posting these. I was a fine arts student and had studied religious art extensively, so these represent the Christian God for me. I imagine that if I was a person of another faith, I would have a different image in my mind. As such these images speak to me and give God a physical entity I find totally accessible.Michelangelo's work:

Bartolommeo:

"But do you really, seriously, Major Scobie," Dr. Sykes asked, "believe in hell?"
"In flames and torment?""Oh, yes, I do."
"That sort of hell wouldn't worry me," Fellowes said."Perhaps not quite that. They tell us it may be a permanent sense of loss."
"Perhaps you've never lost anything of importance," Scobie said.
I do not like the look of the beard.Michelangelo's work:

Those are Greek letter...alpha and omega, which are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. Jesus said that He was the First and the Last, the Alpha and the Omega.
