“Elfred!! WHEN am I going to see what you’re doing??”, I asked while phoning one day. Promising to get me a video soon I wondered if all this time and money would pay off. It was a lot to risk but I believed people needed an accurate painting of Noah’s ark instead of all these cutesy versions with giraffes and elephants sticking their heads out of flimsy reed boats. Little cartoon paintings didn’t do justice to such a massive event in our planet’s history where all life was destroyed in the thousands of volcanoes, massive tidal waves, earthquakes and storms that tore through the Earth. The worldwide graveyard of fossils needed their silent story told.

Within weeks I knew we were on track. Watching the video that Elfred sent I discovered that his talent knew no bounds as he effortlessly painted with a paintbrush in BOTH hands. Animals sprung to life as he captured that last moment in time before the door to life forever closed on the ancient world. Every object took on new depth of meaning and significance as Elfred shared some of the symbolism hid everywhere in the painting. My trust grew as I realized that this wouldn’t just be beautiful and accurate but it would also touch hearts as they saw the gospel proclaimed in art.

Next up….Bibleland’s Logo and the forever process it took.
