the tree and the gospel of John

I was asked to paint a cover for the gospel of John series in a Church - what an honor! As I was thinking about what to paint, what would represent this book the best, a tree came to mind. Nathaniel under a tree where he was in a desperate situation, standing, waiting - and God saw him. Isn't that what the gospel is all about, being seen by God? So that tree leads us to our personal life questions, where we struggle and wait under «our» tree. No matter what, at just the right time, He sees us!
