14x16 Friends in the Mess

“Friends in the Mess.”

This messy Jesus painting was created while reflecting on friendship. Those deep friends you make who become family. Who nurture and love when it’s inconvenient. Who don’t care how messy your house is. Who love your crazy kids and you anyway. The friends who are there with me in my mess. Thank you. 

I think it’s interesting that Jesus is alone in this painting with “no friends” visible. But to me blues and purples are the colors of friendship. And friends are there even when I feel alone. I’m thankful for the friends I was able to be strengthened by today.
