Jesus Is Love Handmade Wooden Cross, with Great Backside Too repetitive I don't believe this basket

I don't believe this basket has many years on it

I am not sure if this alms box ever turned up again in his work

and are small

but I found this painting on Ebay and it just called to me

Jesus Is Love Handmade Wooden Cross, with Great Backside Too repetitive I don't believe this basketI am not the least bit religious, but I deeply love this thing. And, these days, when religion is invoked to support actions that seem to be embody anything but love, I find it super poignant. The deep care and humanity invested in its making perfectly matches its sentiment, and the back side, which shows several prior attempts to get it right before turning it over to try again is, I think, about as good and heartbreakingly true as it gets. LOVE.
