Master Peace 48"x60"

Original Oil Painting by Kelly Duke

In Master Peace, Duke captures one of the most profound moments in human history — the journey of Jesus Christ carrying the cross to Golgotha.
Set against the backdrop of a vast, sunlit desert under a heavy sky, this painting speaks to the weight of sacrifice, love, and destiny.

Every brushstroke tells a story:

• The rough, battered wood of the cross digs deep into Christ’s shoulder, symbolizing the immense burden he willingly bore.

• The winding path behind him, marked by hardship, leads the viewer’s eye to two distant crosses — a powerful reminder of the coming crucifixion.

• A divine ray of light breaks through the stormy clouds, gently illuminating the crosses and Christ himself, representing hope, redemption, and the ever-present hand of God.

The rich earth tones, the emotional depth in Jesus’ gaze, and the heavenly light combine to create a piece that is not just seen, but felt.

Master Peace stands as a visual testimony of faith, endurance, and ultimate peace — a sacred addition to any space seeking inspiration, reflection, and grace.
