Waiting For Me

Waiting For Me

SKU:PM1036386

Art Story

Many years ago, a Samaritan woman traveled for some water. Little did she know that her life would change forever when she met and spoke with the Fountain of Living Water Himself.

What is interesting to note in this episode of scripture is that, as far as we can tell, the Samaritan woman was not seeking spiritual help, guidance, or answers. She was going about her day performing what could be considered a mundane task. Even still, the Savior and Creator of all was there waiting for her.

So it is in our own life. Jesus does not wait for us to actively seek Him, He is always there, ready to speak with us, instruct, and listen. Truly, even in the mundane tasks of life, Christ is in the details of our lives. He is always there waiting for us.

Digital painting created with Photoshop 20 x 16. Created 2025.

About the Artist

I’m an artist from Utah and a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I have fallen in love with art since the 4th grade, but have only started actively pursuing it professionally near the end of 2024. My name is Alan Deaton, however my artistic “pen name” is Paul Marli. This stems from a business name my wife and I created years ago which utilizes both of our middle names.  Although the name pays homage to us both, I am the artist of these pieces.

I’ve mostly worked digitally but strive to keep it close to working in a traditional way (avoiding digital effects and exclusively digital tools). I have plans to work on physical, traditional mediums as well.

I believe art has the capacity to motivate, uplift, and inspire. A piece may not change the world around us, but I believe it can change someone’s world; all it takes is the right piece! Rather than simply trying to manufacture a “pretty picture”, my aim is for my art to be instructive. It is my hope that someone who spends time with my pieces gains a deeper understanding about a characteristic or attribute of Jesus Christ; that they understand a little more about His true nature.

I have a testimony and sure knowledge of God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. My art is one of my ways I hope to spread and share my testimony with others. I do my best to draw on my own personal experiences when composing a piece and creating the “right” title. Sometimes I’ll spend hours trying to get it just right, but I will not move forward until I feel it is right.

Each piece I make contains a part of my own testimony and experience with the Savior. It is my hope that my pieces can give you, at least a little, your own precious experiences with Him.
