Here’s more info on the art on this page:
The Temptation of Christ – This was the one picture that I never made an on site sketch of. But I needed something to represent Christianity.
An Assortment of African Masks - These masks don’t technically belong here as they represent social structures rather than gods or other spiritual beings, but I wanted to put them in somewhere.
Buddha – At least I think its Buddha. I never could find a picture of it on the website.
Ganesha - I know almost nothing about Hindu religions.
The Three Nymphs - I just had to throw in some nymphs somewhere.
The Bodhisattva Kuan-yin - A Bodhisattva is a Buddha who has turned down Nirvana until everybody else is enlightened.
And the whole “Six billion people, no one thing can work for all of them” is not an original thought. It’s based on something the Dalai Lama said, although I don’t have the exact quote.
re: Ganesha. Then consider your choice to include him a happy accident; it really fits neatly.
