Description 'During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake.' Matt 14:25 Always liked this bit of the bible, Jesus just walks on the water like He's just strolling through the park lol. The piece didn't come out completely like i wanted it to, something about drawing water that just stumps me every time, but oh well, pretty happy with it, enjoy

Beautiful. I tend to find traditional Christian art very static and boring, but this is so sleek and iconic. So much underlying meaning packed into such a simple design.

Absolutely gorgeous.

Thank you so much, i tend to find there's not much christian artwork out there that isn't your standard traditional painting stuff, which isn't bad just thought i'd try something new, glad you like

I'm not catholic, but I was raised in christian family. I always liked this part of bible as well. Still, Genesis was my favourite, specially in the old, original bibles, not the storybooks like the most "new" bibles are now.

I've been raised Lutheran, which i've been told is kinda Catholic-lite lol, and i love Genesis too, so many cool events took place

BlueBeauty875 [2008-12-11 06:34:36 +0000 UTC]

I like it a lot. It gives me this sense of "If Jesus can calm the sea than he can calm me!" Puts things in perspective. Something as uncontrollable (in human eyes) the sea being calmed by Jesus is still an amazing story. I get so caught up in other things that I forget how cool that story really is!
