I see a small problem with your idea....but perhaps you know something that I don't. How does a person obtain a picture of God?
My answer is Yes! Assuming you have a photo.

NO. i dont know about others, but i have a beleif.
Exodus 20:4-6 records the Second Commandment. Here is God’s explicit directive: “YOU SHALL NOT MAKE UNTO YOU ANY GRAVEN IMAGE, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: you shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me; and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love Me, and keep My commandments.”
God specifically defined the forbidden ways that were used to worship idols. He realized human nature’s tendency to justify loopholes around His instructions.
love for God should be in out hearts. but then again it is my beleif and my faith -- i dont expect everyone to agree to it.

NO! We can never make a picture of God. God is perfect and we humans may never make an accurate picture of God. God is Almighty and perfect......

EXO 20:3 "You shall have no other gods before me.
4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in
heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.
5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your
God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to
the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,
23 Do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves
gods of silver or gods of gold.
23:13 "Be careful to do everything I have said to you. Do not invoke the
names of other gods; do not let them be heard on your lips.

If Michelangleo can do it...so can you...its just a respresentation afterall. Given no-one knows what God looks like anyway, I dont see how ANYONE could make a picture of it/him/her.

NO. ITS NOT PERMISSIBLE. Because if you do that you are trying give an image of God and as we all know we don't know the image of God.
