A storm on the Sea of Galilee does not arrive politely. Cold air drops off the hills, hits the warm water, and in minutes the whole lake is standing up. That night it caught a boat full of seasoned fishermen, and they were losing.
They woke Jesus with the question all of us have asked in some form: don't you care that we're going down?
He stood up in the wind and said three words. Peace, be still. Mark writes that the wind ceased and there was a great calm. (Mark 4:35-41)
The landscape edition of Calming the Storm gives that calm room to spread. Where the portrait stays close to Him, this canvas opens the water wide, out toward the horizon He was speaking to. I collaborated on this piece with my friend, a South African painter named Pieter Van Tonder. His brush, my direction.
Hang it wide: over a sofa, a bed, a mantel, the wall you see first when you walk in tired.
Calming the Storm | Landscape is available as a loose canvas, a gallery wrapped canvas, or a framed canvas. If a vertical composition fits your wall better, see the portrait edition.
There is still a voice the wind obeys.
Commonly asked questions (FAQ section)
What is the difference between loose canvas, gallery wrapped, and framed canvas? A loose canvas is the print alone, rolled and shipped ready for your own framer. A gallery wrapped canvas is stretched over a wooden frame with the image wrapping the edges, ready to hang out of the box. A framed canvas is the stretched canvas set inside a wood frame for a finished, gallery look.
Should I choose the landscape or the portrait version? Same moment, two compositions. Landscape opens the scene wide and suits broad walls: above a sofa, a bed, a mantel, or a credenza. Portrait holds the scene tall and suits entryways, stair landings, narrow walls, and pairings with other vertical pieces. See the portrait edition here. See Portrait version here.
What scripture is this painting based on? Mark 4:35-41, where Jesus calms the storm on the Sea of Galilee with the words "Peace, be still." The same account appears in Matthew 8 and Luke 8.
Is this AI-generated art? No. Calming the Storm is a real painting by South African painter Pieter Van Tonder, created in collaboration with Mark Mabry as creative director. Every canvas is a fine art print of that original work.
What sizes are available? Sizes range from 12x8 to 60x40. All measurements are in inches.

Framed Canvas Art
Two ways to frame your canvas. Pick the one that fits the room.
Float Framed Canvas (generally more modern). A 1.5-inch-deep Premium Gallery Wrapped Canvas sits inside a slim frame with a small gap between frame and canvas, so the print appears to float. Available in nine thin frame profiles: Thin Gold, Thin White, Thin Silver, Thin Black, Thin Walnut, Thin Maple, Thin Oak, Thin Espresso, and Thin Natural. Ships ready to hang with hanging cleat, black backing, and bumpers.
Classic Framed Canvas (generally more traditional). A 0.75-inch-deep premium canvas sits inside the frame the way frames have held important pictures for centuries. Available in five hand-finished profiles: Plein Air Gold, Vintage Copper, Black Gold Classic, Concerto Black Gold, and Driftwood Gray. Ships ready to hang with hanging wire and black backing.
Both styles are framed to order in the USA with gallery-quality precision.

I’m a huge believer in having some kind of art depicting the Savior in your home. It’s a wonderful talking piece and teaching moment for kids to see and ponder what the image means to them.

Nothing makes a home like beautiful art, these pictures really set a wonderful mood in our home!
Jase Bennett, Scottland
Lately, Fisher has been afraid of “monsters”. We pray every night, but I think seeing Jesus just outside his room really helps. No talk of monsters anymore!
It’s so important to instill God’s love on our boys and teach them about their Father.

This picture in our entryways helps us pause, reflect, and ask ourselves “how can we be more like Christ?” on a daily basis.

Never have I loved a picture of Jesus more. The colors are soothing and the happiness it brings to my heart when I look at it makes me want one in every room. —*adds to cart for every room in the house
Betsy Mikesell, TN
I was always told to look for God in everything, how I live and look at life. It is important to me to have this picture of Jesus to be reminded daily of his kindness, wonder, and love. If remembrance is a value of yours; this is the perfect way to start!
