“John 3:16”: A Stunning Tribute to Tim Tebow and the New York Jets by Artist Edgar J. Brown

In the world of sports art, few pieces capture the essence of an athlete’s spirit and the energy of a team like Edgar J. Brown’s “John 3:16.” This 100% hand-painted New York Jets artwork is a breathtaking celebration of quarterback Tim Tebow, blending faith, football, and the vibrant spirit of New York into one unforgettable masterpiece.

A Dual Portrait of Tim Tebow

At the heart of “John 3:16” are two striking depictions of Tim Tebow, the beloved quarterback known for his unwavering faith and dynamic play. On top half of the painting, a detailed portrait captures Tebow in action, arm cocked back, ready to launch a touchdown pass, his eyes scanning the field for the receiver. This image embodies the intensity and focus that defined his time on the gridiron. On the bottom half, the focal point of the piece, a figurative portrait of Tebow in prayer, head bowed in a moment of reflection. This powerful image highlights the quarterback’s deep spirituality, a hallmark of his career and personal life, tying directly to the painting’s title, “John 3:16,” a reference to the Bible verse John 3:16—“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son…”

A Masterful Background by Edgar J. Brown

Renowned artist Edgar J. Brown brings his signature impressionistic style to the background, seamlessly blending the New York cityscape with the energy of a Jets game. The top half of the canvas features the iconic Empire State Building and a vibrant city skyline, while the bottom half transitions into an impressionistic rendering of a stadium packed with fans, represented by vivid dots of color. The dark backdrop behind the praying Tebow symbolizes a night game, with the darkness evoking a moment of silence and reverence. Look closely, and you’ll notice subtle city lights forming the numbers “3:16,” a clever nod to the painting’s spiritual theme.
