The Great Divorce (a book you should read)
To Paint a Picture

paint a picture of heaven?

Lewis is with a Solid Person, in Heaven. He sees a man who wants to paint a picture of the landscape in Heaven. But Lewis's Solid Person, who tells him alot of stuff which I shall discuss in diferent pages. The solid person tells him he doesn't need to paint a picture. Quote from book (said by the Solid Person, who was George MacDonald): "When you painted on earth-at least in your earlier days- it was because you caught glimpses of Heaven in the earthly landscape. The sucess of your painting was that it enabled others to see the glimpses too.  But here you are having the thing itself. It is from here that the messages came. There is no good telling us about this country, for we see it already." 
 
In Heaven, you won't need to paint pictures, take pictures, or anything. You'll have it already!  It was already explained well enough in the text above, and it would be hard to explain it again without copying the whole thing over.
