Akiane Kramarik's Prince of Peace--you have to see this!

[Ryuuko9]

Akiane Kramarik painted this portrait of Jesus when she was 8 years old (and that's not a typo):

Now 13, she says that she had dreams of Jesus' face, and decided to put form to her dreams here and paint her visions. It's absolutely beautiful, and thought I'd share this with you. Please do the same if you feel compelled to do so.

This one was painted when she was 9, called "Forgive Them, Father - Jesus":

An interesting fact is that she was born in an atheist family, but after her paintings, her parents couldn't believe it and are now Christians.

She was interviewed this Sunday on the Hour of Power. For those of you interested to see this interview, click on this link

What a special little girl!

My dad was watching that last night on the "Hour of Power" with Robert Schuller.

Those are pretty amazing for an artist her age. They also bear a strong resemblance to early Eastern icons of Jesus.
