Here you see the moment of redemption, when the prodigal son returns home and implores his father to accept him back.

The story Jesus told about a father and his youngest son who squandered his inheritance has become a universal meme to describe a wandering youth who comes back home with a sorrowful and repentant attitude about his bad choices. But I believe that Jesus wanted us to understand more about the receptive heart of a forgiving father.

I painted a man overwhelmed with love and a desire to communicate total forgiveness to a wayward son. This is a picture of the God who created all things and is glad to show mercy to anyone who humbles themselves before Him.
