Description
The story of Jonathan and David's deep friendship (and some would say, intimate relationship) is told in the books of Samuel found in the Torah, which comprise what the Christians would later call the Old Testament (it isn't old to everyone).

Forbidden to be together due to the jealousy of Jonathan's father, King Saul, for David's growing popularity with the people of Israel, Jonathan warns David that his life is in danger and must leave. This Original Finger Painting captures the moment before the two must part ways (1 Samuel 20:41-42):

"And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground and bowed himself three times; and they kissed one another and wept one with another, but David more.

"And Jonathan said to David, "Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, `The LORD be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever.'" And he arose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city."

A beautiful, sensuous and romantic oil painting measuring 20" x 20" and ready-to-hang without a frame, this is a picture that honors love and friendship, and offers hope and belonging for those who seek it on their spiritual path. Full of rich browns, reds, blues, and with an undertone of gold, invite this image into your space as a testament to the spectrum of love we can feel.
