This work is in oils on wood block and was one of a series of paintings on the theme of Magicians , Sages and Magic. I reasoned that God must have been something of a magician to have created the world in seven days..and here He is creating light out of darkness with one sweep of his magician's cape. He is also creating the waters of the earth and all the creatures from the elephant down to the tiny mouse and the bee with it's honeycomb which forms his pocket handkerchief. I wanted an almost volcanic feel to the landscape with clouds of gases swirling around in that first light.
