Painted as if you came across Him on the road to somewhere else, between 2 destinations, it is a moment of transition, or redirection. It is a warm invitation to walk with him in trust, as your companion and guide. Calmly inviting you to follow him with an outstretched hand and open palm. For without Jesus and his teaching, we are lost souls and live a life away from his calling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn the Gospels, Jesus invites people to \"follow me\" over 20 times. It is an active call to walk in His ways, learn His teachings, and make His mission of love, service and sacrifice your own. When Jesus called His first disciples (like Peter and Matthew), they left their nets and tax booths to physically walk with Him. And so we are all invited to follow Jesus, to live a better life, to learn from him and understand what he has called us to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReady to Hang\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs framing is a personal choice, please note that all paintings are sold and shipped as unframed, as standard shipping practice for Painted canvases. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis painting features a 2cm gallery-wrap profile and arrives ready to hang, unframed with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eD-rings\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and high-quality \u003cb\u003epicture wire\u003c\/b\u003e on the back of the wooden stretcher bars.
