Katrina As Michelangelo:
My Dining Room Mural

The Creation of Adam, a fresco from the ceiling of the Sistene Chapel in Rome, by Michelangleo (1475-1564).

"The hand of the youth rises, as if pulled up by God's power, to meet the hand which stretches out of the cloud toward it. God, in his vast cloak of clouds, carries with him not only his angels, but also Eve, looking at her future partner with wide eyed curiosity."
