Carol's Rose

The watercolor, "Carol's Rose" is especially painted and entitled in her name to honor and to encourage a dear friend in Alden, New York while she continutes to fight Cancer. I wanted to describe it in a setting that shows the beauty that God brings out of the storms and dark shadows of life. What a joy it was to paint this beautiful rose. "Do not fear, for I Am with you...I will strengthen you and help you." Is. 41a

Artist Reply: Thanks Dee for your wonderful and encouraging words on 'Carol's Rose'. It was my joy to paint. I just had some great news on Carol ... She just sent news that her second stem cell worked and the Lukemia is gone. How we pray it will not return. I know she has so appreciated the prayers of everyone. She is praising her Lord and Saviour for this healing. She is trusting Him for renewed strength now. Thanks again, and for sharing your amazing inspirational photographs. Beuties indeed! God bless, Jan.
