  6. Glad you are finally home again after your stint “on the road.” Love this painting–also the bird–I am going to try both. I did a thing for “praise,” for the storybook.

    Get some rest. Enjoy your family.

    Hey Jimi, I painted it. Who else knows all 4 sisters so well now Doc and Aurelia are gone? Glad you like it. I’ve been surprized by the image’s popularity. I painted it quickly, for fun, thinking about those selfsame sisters. Prints are available. I just emailed you. Best wishes for the holidays and the new year.

    I love this picture and am borrowing it to represent a group we have recently renamed “4 Sisters”. So…I’ll throw out a fun story narrative with it.
    There stood Anne, Leah, Rebecca and Erica once again looking out on the horizon. Each had a battle to fight. Each had to make a choice. Individually, none of them would make it, but through Christ and sisterly love, there was no telling what would become of the impossible.
