Vigil

This is a painting I did last year which I call "Vigil." It was inspired by the many times young people gathered to comfort each other and remember a lost one.

This is a 30x 40 inch original oil on canvas. I was asked to paint an image to be used on tee shirts, stationary, etc. for an American Cancer Society Relay for Life in the small town where I live: Havana Florida. It helped raise 64,000 from this little town for the cause. I still own the painting and it is shown in a frame shop in Tallahassee, Florida. It won Best of Show at Creative Tallahasse, City Hall, Tallahassee.FL.2006 I can send a higher resolution image if you need it Thank you June

This image is a collaboration between a graphic artist and myself. I wanted a logo for my hound sanctuary depicting a lost dog finding a safe, loving place to live, either temporarily until she was adopted or for her lifetime. The dogs at Silverwalk live in and outside of my home. They know they are loved. I know they need homes but we do the very best we can in the meantime; if one is never adopted, they are here for life.

Photo is one I took in 2010 of Dr. Jill Seaman, my hero, who has dedicated much of her life and most of her resources, volunteering in remote villages in Southern Sudan. One of the world experts on kala-azar, a deadly neglected tropic disease that largely affects the poor, Jill gives her self unflinchingly to save the sick and the poor.

COMPASSION

Quotes
Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and therefore the fount of all invention and innovation. In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared.
J.K. Rowling Novelist  (born 1965);
Compassion for myself is the most powerful healer of them all.
Theodore Isaac Rubin Psychiatrist, Author  (born 1923);
Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.
Henry Ward Beecher Clergyman, Social Reformer  (1813-1887);
Whoever renders service to many puts himself in line for greatness - great wealth, great return, great satisfaction, great reputation, and great joy.
Jim Rohn Entrepreneur, Author, Motivational Speaker  (1930-2009);
Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.
John Wesley Theologian  (1703-1791);

I totally agree. It breaks my heart when people disregard animals, children and elderly. They have feelings, too.
