Chapter 15

Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.

“Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.

I think it is very effective at representing an evil kiss. The coloring is quite dramatic.

[nicollo]

I did not know that. Fantastic.

Very dramatic piece Dan; at first glimpse, I thought it was a relief.

[Hebrews 11:6]

As did I.

The best artists made a very good living supported by the church or aristocracy. Some even became artists-in- residence at the court of Kings. They began their apprenticeship with established artists of the day. Michelangelo started at age 13, Rembrandt at age 14, it took long years to hone their skills.

Thank you etabeta =:^)

[etabeta]

You are very welcome, InkStone!

[Maudeen]

[Hebrews 11:6]

LOL—neither am I!

The loving Father is not only just waiting -
