Storytelling

Here are the beginnings of a new idea. I am working on my storytelling; conveying ideas through words and paint.



The text in the sketch is from Ephesians.

You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. (Ephesians 4:22-24 NIV)

I have the preliminary layout set, but the question I face currently is what to place in the center panel. I have not decided whether to stay symbolic, or to try something more abstract. Any ideas?
