Notes
Licensed in 2012 for use as album artwork for a Christian rock band. Artist Statement: "Having been at sea for many months crossing the ocean, I imagine that Nephi was sent by his family to scout out their promised land before they disembarked. The first thing he did upon landing was to kneel and pour out his heart in gratitude to God for his guidance, protection, love, and many miracles on their behalf. An extrapolation of events in the Book of Mormon, 1 Nephi 18:23."
