Approaching Dalmanutha

About this Image:

"Immediately after [feeding the four thousand], he got into a boat with his disciples and crossed over to the region of Dalmanutha." -Mark 8:10

This serene scene depicts the quiet in-between moments in Christ's ministry. Jesus and His disciples cross the water beneath a golden sunset. The boat gently gliding across calm waters reminds us that faith in God isn't just for the big storms or mighty miracles, it's also for the still, ordinary moments of each day.

About the Artist:

Leslie Pardew started his career in traditional cel animation, where he learned how to make art come alive with motion. He then spent 27 years working on video games, developing his skills as a digital artist and game designer. He used those skills and added a few more to open the first escape room in Utah. The culmination of his training has led to his lifelong dream to illustrate the life of Jesus Christ. He begins his work by carefully reading passages from the New Testament and visualizing how it might look. He then writes a detailed description of his vision and uses AI to make numerous sketches. From these sketches, he uses digital painting to refine and build a work of art that he hopes will inspire and enhance the lives of those who view it.
