Painting Title:- Calming the Storm

Text: Mark 4 v 35 - 41

This painting recounts Mark 4: 35-41 by confronting the viewer with the emotions of the event.

The disciples are terrified as the boat rocks violently. One is clinging to the edge and another is swamped by tarpaulin. Is it the storm or Jesus' presence of which they're more afraid? The disciples have dared to follow Jesus this far. They've left the beach - they've also left family homes and businesses - entrusting their destiny to Jesus, and also to the sea. Now they're fearful that it was all a big mistake.
