Hands_together_oil_on_canvas_june_pauline_zent

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

VISION

Quotes
I believe life is a series of near misses. A lot of what we ascribe to luck is not luck at all. It's seizing the day and accepting responsibility for your future. It's seeing what other people don't see. And pursuing that vision.
Howard Schultz Businessman, Entrepreneur  (born 1953);
I will speak to a youth which can accomplish everything, precisely because it accepts no past, obeys no present, and fears no future.
Rudyard Kipling Poet, Author   (1865-1936);
I live to hold communion With all that is divine, To feel there is a union 'Twixt Nature's heart and mine.
George Linnaeus Banks Writer  (1821-1881);
I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stifled. I want all the cultures of all lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi Indian Political And Spiritual Leader  (1869-1948);
You can move through life seeing nothing as a miracle, or seeing everything as a miracle.
Albert Einstein Theoretical Physicist, Philosopher, Nobel Prize Winner  (1879-1955);
