In Favor with God by Simon Dewey

About this Image:

And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. - Luke 2:52

The scriptures say very little about Jesus the boy, but we know that he grew in much the same way that all children do. By the time he was twelve, however, he had become advanced for his age, both spiritually and mentally. Still, there must have been treasured moments between Mary and her firstborn son in which teaching and learning took place on both sides. This depiction shows Mary taking time at the end of a busy day to pray and give thanks to a beloved Father in Heaven with their Son at her knees. The lamp casts a warm light on the evening scene and symbolizes the light of truth and example that emanates from the Savior.

About the Artist:

Simon has quietly sought to celebrate the life and mission of Jesus Christ. His artistic journey began in London, England as a freelance illustrator. In 1997 he entered the world of fine art with the release of "He Lives". Since then, Simon has become known for his exquisitely detailed and delicate portraits capturing moments from the tender to the magnificent. Many marvel at the masterful way he portrays the love and compassion in the face of the Savior and the devotion in the eyes of the believers. Simon lives in Alberta, Canada where he continues to explore new perspectives to inspire and bear witness of eternal principles.
