In 2008 I created a three-panel hand-colored linocut based on Luke 8:24 where Jesus calms the storm. I wanted to express the tremendous power resident within Jesus that enabled Him to be awakened from a peaceful sleep during a savage storm by His panicked disciples and, by merely speaking to the storm, command the storm to cease. This is an adaptation based on the central panel of the linocut, but created as an oil painting.

Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar.  And he touched my mouth with it and said  “Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away and your sin purged.”  Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying:  Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me.”
