Description
Here is my most recent painting of a seated Ballerina. She is 24" x 24", Oil on Canvas. A treasure I hate to let go but...a greater cause that is before us is in more need than me having a beautiful painting. For the last seven years, I have donated a painting to the Arizona, Hospice of the Valley. Money raised at their annual art auction goes to helping and providing assistance to the terminally ill. Even if I sold her, the value of assistance to another human being, in any way, far exceeds any material gain I could get. I have been blessed with a tallent that has given my life meaning and purpose. My giving in this small way, is my way...of giving back.UPDATE: I've Been away for quite a while due to health problems...but I'm back.. Wanted to give an update on this painting...she was chosen for the live auction and sold for $4,600. The person who bought her actually has three other pieces of mine that she bought from this same auction, but different years. Wow...I can now say I have a collector!!

GORGEOUS!!!!!!!
You are right, indeed! You have a gift from Jesus Christ. And that you are choosing to use that gift for the gain of OTHERS.. that is just awesome! And example to all of us.
God bless, and I hope she goes to someone who will cherish her & appreciate the quality of this piece.
