Here I've painted a person caught up in anger, and a friend gently approaching and offering a way out. Proverbs 15 contains a couple of different verses advising us to stay calm in a conflict situation. 

A hot-tempered person stirs up conflict,
    but the one who is patient calms a quarrel. (verse 18)

A gentle answer turns away wrath,
    but a harsh word stirs up anger. (verse 1)

THIS PAINTING IS #15 IN THE DAILY PROVERBS PROJECT

A painting every day in January 2018 by oil/acrylic artist Melani Pyke, to represent something from each of the 31 chapters of the Old Testament book of Proverbs.

The purpose is to discover wisdom through creative new visual images that represent God's word. I hope that you will take a moment to view the painting and quote, and think about what they might be saying. Please help support this project through prayer, spreading the word, and considering the purchase of a painting or print.
