A former patient recently died. I can not go into medical details for privacy reasons, but she needed a new heart she could not receive and died at a young age. I thought to depict her in glory, with a new heart, the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This painting was accepted in the 2006 Southeastern Juried Show at the Mobile Museum of Art, Mobile, Alabama.

A very moving story..but to be thought of in an artistic way can only be seen as a positive proof of one's own humanity.Very nice balance!

Hello David! How's things? This is a very touching and poignant painting but it's powerful and saintly simultaneously. True to the style of a religious painting executed by the old masters it has a messianic quality. I like the way the way you've represented Justice blindfolded. There was, it seems, no justice for Mrs. Bouchie as she makes the ultimate sacrifice..............her life! Brilliant, meaningful picture. Love it!
