Standing Strong

Even in times of tremendous trial, those throughout the Bible were able to stand strong in who they were and in who they knew God was. Jesus is the ultimate example of this, as He faced crucifixion and death, and He spent the time He had before this trial praying to His Father. Other examples of standing strong are Stephen (Acts 7), who was full of the Holy Spirit, Peter (Acts 12), who had the entire church body in constant prayer, and Paul and Silas (Acts 16), who spent their time in prison praying and singing. Standing strong in times of trial takes strength, but in the end, there is always an amazing outcome and reward for continuing in God’s plan.

I Am Peter

I have created an acrylic painting inspired by Matthew 14:22-27 through a prophetic vision. The artwork includes four separate canvases of different sizes. I desire each member of the audience to interpret their own meaning and apply the artwork to their own life, just as scripture serves as a means to strengthen one’s relationship with God. Therefore, I will not go into great lengths regarding my own interpretation. This is mainly due to the fact that I find my own perspective to change every time I view the piece. My interpretation of the scripture is from Peters own perspective as he views Jesus walking towards the disciples. As Jesus draws near, Peter is brought to life in the storm of his fragmented life, hence the four separate canvases. I have also included a separate portfolio of ten other artists and their rendition of the scripture. In this portfolio I have compared, contrasted, and analyzed each piece of art to my own to show different perspectives.
