The storm came up fast, the way they do on the Sea of Galilee. These were fishermen. They had ridden out squalls their whole lives, and this one had them bailing and losing. Jesus slept in the stern on a cushion until they woke Him 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 records what happened next as a great calm. Not smaller waves. A great calm. (Mark 4:35-41)
I collaborated on this piece with my friend, a South African painter named Pieter Van Tonder. His brush, my direction. We wanted to hold the second when chaos yields to peace, when the water has already heard His voice. The stillness that follows surrender.
If you are in your own storm, or love someone who is, hang this where you will see it in the morning.
Calming the Storm is available as a loose canvas, a gallery wrapped canvas, or a framed canvas.
He still says it.
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.

One of my favorite things in my home—my @reflectionsofchrist portrait. This piece is so dear to my heart... it's placed in the center of my home, because my intention as a mother is to always have Christ be our center for everything we do. This artwork brings light and spirit to our family.

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.

Every time I look at this photo, I am reminded that I am cared for by the best Father. That no matter what happens around me, He is my protector… with Him I can walk on water.

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!
