Chris and Jenni

Here is a painting that I did to depict the relationship I have with my brother. The picture I used was when we were at a Monday night football game in St. Louis. It was the rams vs the Seahawks. We somehow got field passes (for those of you who don't know what that means- you can't buy them- they're given to people.. Out of about 50,000 people only about 500 to 1,000 people get them and they get to watch the teams warm up and get to be a foot away from the players and newscasters) this picture was taken after the game started when we had already taken out seats. I used blues and greens for our faces to show peace. We constantly work on ourselves as individuals in achieving peace. I wanted to show our growth in our relationship such as honesty, acceptance, and freedom to be ourselves with green and blue. For the background I used a pale red-orange to signify the past we come from. Sometimes it still burns us, but we find a way to use the fire to build a stronger bond through honesty and forgiveness. It takes a lot of self reflection and personal power power to be able to be in a healthy relationship with the ones we love. I love my brother and he's one of my strongest relationships I have in my life. I couldn't see my life without him. He has taught me so much that I don't mind the fire at all- it keeps us warm..
