Miracle of Reading



This painting is 9 x 12 oil on panel. This is not a finished painting. I still have a few things to work on but I couldn't wait to post it. The photo this was painted from was taken by Elaine Munro. This is a boy in Africa associated with the Grand Mother's Tribe. Please view www.grandmotherstribe.com to learn more about Grand Mothers who are left caring for their many grand kids after their children have died from aids.
