The Story of The Prodigal Son's Return Home

from the Gospel of Luke

A certain man had two sons:

And the younger of them said to his father, "Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me." And he divided unto them his living.

And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.

And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

And when he came to himself, he said, "How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

"I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants."

And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son."

But the father said to his servants, "Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found."

A Contemporary Interpretation of the Prodigal Son

This painting of the love between a Father and son is one of my favorites, and it hung over my sofa for quite a long time. The landscape was inspired by the Appalachian farming communities where I live, but of course the story is derived from the Gospel.

There are many hidden symbols in this painting that support the story, such as the contrast between the barren land of Sin and the lush green land of Redemption.

Additional Information

I Personally Guarantee That You'll Love It

I strive to bring you high-quality prints that adhere to the original painting as closely as possible, and these canvas prints exceed even my exacting standards!

  • No frame is needed. You can hang this picture up as-is.

  • Each picture includes pre-installed hardware and a hanging kit, so it's easy to mount it on your wall.

  • The image is created on artist-grade canvas, then hand-stretched and stapled on a full hardwood frame made of European Pine, much like the original canvas that I painted this picture on. (Round canvas prints are stretched on shaped MDF, which is very stable and sturdy.)

  • Each print uses a wide spectrum of archival inks for brilliant, lasting color.

  • The image wraps slightly around the edges and is then completed in a solid color around the sides for a subtle "floating" effect, which is how I finish some of my original canvases as well. The edges are usually black unless otherwise noted in the image description above.

  • "Thin" wraps are 3/4 inches thick. I prefer these for small prints or items that will be framed.

  • "Thick" wraps are 1-1/4 inches thick. I prefer these for large prints (not available on round canvas).

Note: Prints ship separately from originals. Round prints also ship separately.

Preview This Art In Your Home with My 30-Day "Gallery Quality" Guarantee

Did you know that many high-end art galleries let their patrons take art home with them for thirty days, and allow them return them for a full refund if they change their mind?

Although it comes out of my own pocket, I'm extending the same guarantee on my canvas art prints. That's because I know that buying art is just like buying anything else: you have to see it in your own home to be sure that it's right for you.

If you decide to return a print, please contact me within 30 days of purchase and I'll arrange a free return. Be sure to use the contact form on my website.

Bonus: A Two Year "Heirloom Quality" Warranty

When I was growing up, my mother had a beautiful painting of a mother and child hanging in our living room which we called "Sacajawea." It had belonged to my grandmother. When Mom moved out of her home and downsized, she saved the painting and gave it to one of her sisters. It is cherished as a family heirloom.

Many years later I discovered that this "painting" was one of the early giclée prints from the first years that the technology was invented. Seeing how this print had been lovingly displayed for so long inspired me to offer a two-year "Heirloom Quality" Guarantee on all of the prints I sell.

If you contact me within two years of buying this painting and show me that it has faded or deteriorated due to manufacturing standards, then I will reimburse you out of my own pocket.

This generous return policy only applies to people who buy items in good faith. See my complete return policy for details.

Thank you for considering my art, and may God bless your home.
