"Joy in fellowship" by Mark J Cazalet

The image shows Jesus and Peter on a public ice skating rink with Peter slipping and being caught in Christ's arms. Both are in that high spirited state of hilarity that being slightly out of control on ice produces. It is a painting that I hope shows the joy of fellowship, delight in our physical being and the phenomenon of the created world. It also gently refers to Peter's fallibility, the slippery nature of the disciples pilgrimage of a life lived in faith and to Peter sinking into the water when he tried to emulate Christ's walking on the Sea of Tiberius.
