when i was pregnant with maxwell, a sister in our ward contracted cancer. after going through treatments, surgeries, etc., she then got a really bad infection that required daily antibiotics (administered three time a day) through a picc line. there were amazingly two sisters in the ward (me being one of them) who knew how to hook up picc lines and were comfortable administering iv antibiotics. it took about an hour, give or take, for the antibiotics to run through, so i had 2-3 hours a day with this sister, which then got whittled down to just one hour, after i got more pregnant-er, and the other sister got involved, and then a home health nurse. we had lots of time to talk. lots of time to get to know each other. lots of time to share life stories and dreams.
here we are, two years later, and i wanted to do a painting for my friend. she wanted a woman with Christ scene, and we could both testify of a very visible Hand keeping her afloat in life. this scene popped into my head as we were talking. honestly, it isn't quite as refined as i had hoped it'd be, but it'll do.
(intentionally blurry--i wanted to see how the colors blended)

What a special experience. Beautiful painting!
Wonderful yet again!
Copies coming?
Are there symbols or something in the rocks? Or are they sliders?
P.s. I know they aren't sliders...
By the way, that is a wonderful tribute for her and the "succor" thing in Alma 7: 10-12. Succor literally means "run to the aid of." Substitute that phrase for the word in the scripture and it takes a whole new meaning.
The woman in the print looks like she gets it.
I just blew the picture up (for the first time) and see that those aren't rocks! They are the feet of the hypocrites! The set-up artists!
You set the scene up excellently.
I see who is close and who is far away.
