I love the story of the prodigal son and I've painted it many times. These are 3 very different prodigal son paintings I did. The largest one, I just completed today. When I painted this, I thought about how good it would have felt to be the forgiving father and how humbling to be the forgiven son. I've played both roles in my journey here on earth and I've also spent periods of time living life with out the ability to extend and receive forgiveness. Those times were some of the darkest, most painful periods in my life. I contrasted that feeling in this painting. Light and color are exploding from the father son embrace, mingled with grateful tears like fireworks of joy!
