Mrs. B. Gets a New Heart (2005)

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!

This is lovely David ...nice that you found a way of making this feel right to you as you have obviously been affected by her death.

I have mixed feelings about this - not sure what to think.
