“But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, PATIENCE, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness and self-control.” — Galatians 5:22-23

This painting is about keeping my anger under control. The dark ugly rage that sometimes boils up within me (and usually for no real good reason) can be extinquished by God's calming influence. When my blood pressure begins to go through the roof, I need to take a long deep breath and ask God to help me change my attitude.
