{"title":"Bible Story Art","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe stories you grew up with, painted for your walls. The night on the water, the shepherd with the lamb, the hand reaching down for Peter. Hang one and the story is in the room with you, for the children who are still learning it and for you on the mornings you need to be reminded. Bible story art gives you the scene itself, in paint, at a size that holds a wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbove the Waves is for the wall you see from the front door. Reaching Through the Water is for someone who has been pulled out of something. Safe in His Care is for a child's room. Carried by Grace is for a parent growing old, or for anyone in a season they cannot carry alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the difference between Bible story art and scripture art?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScripture art gives you the words. Bible story art gives you the scene the words describe, and the two do different jobs on a wall. A lettered verse is read in a glance, on the way through a kitchen or an entry. A painted scene asks a little more of you. You have to know, or be told, that the man on the water is Jesus and the one going under is Peter, and once you know, the picture keeps giving, on the hundredth morning as much as the first. Many homes have both, and a painted scene next to a lettered verse from the same passage is a fine pairing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe make scenes because that is what we love, and because the stories in Scripture were told as stories. Matthew 14:22-33 is a night at sea with wind, fear and a hand held out. John 10:11-15 is a shepherd who knows his sheep and stays when the wolf comes. Isaiah 46:3-4 is a promise spoken to a whole people, which the painting Carried by Grace takes as a single person being carried along a shore. That last one is our reading of the promise, and we say so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich scenes does this biblical wall art show?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo of the four come from a single passage. Above the Waves shows Jesus walking toward the boat, the disciples still frightened, the water rough between them. Reaching Through the Water moves in close to the moment Peter sinks and Jesus catches him. Safe in His Care is the Good Shepherd of John 10, and it is the gentlest picture we make. Carried by Grace is the quietest, a shoreline and two figures, and it is the one to give in a hard season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAre these bible paintings originals?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are canvas prints of our own artwork, made to order. Each scene is our own artwork, printed to order on matte cotton-polyester canvas over a pine stretcher, either frameless or in a natural or black pine frame. You get the texture and the color of the artwork at the size you choose, with hanging hardware included, ready for the wall the day the box is opened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe canvas itself\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach print is made to order in the US on matte canvas, frameless from $59 or in a natural or black wood frame from $129, in sizes from 8x12 to 30x40 inches. Hanging hardware is included, so it is ready for the wall the day it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo these canvases have the verse printed on them?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The canvas carries the painting alone, and the passage is given in full on each product page. If you want the words on the wall too, a small lettered print of the verse beside the painting pairs well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich Bible story wall art is right for a child's room?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafe in His Care. The shepherd, the lamb and the soft light are easy for a child to read, and the wolves stay at the edge of the picture, present but held back. Above the Waves suits an older child who knows the story and likes the sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I hang Above the Waves and Reaching Through the Water as a pair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Both come from Matthew 14, and the same size side by side reads as one story in two moments, the walk toward the boat and the hand closing on Peter. Hang them about four inches apart with their centers 57 to 60 inches from the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere does the scene in Carried by Grace come from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIsaiah 46:3-4, where God speaks of carrying his people from birth to old age. The passage is a promise spoken to a whole people, so the painting is an interpretation: one figure carrying another along a shoreline. The product page gives the passage in full.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"reaching-through-the-water","title":"Reaching Through the Water","description":"\u003cp\u003eReaching Through the Water is an original Mercy \u0026amp; Light painting of Jesus reaching into the water, inspired by Matthew 14:30–31.
