Perseverance

Perseverance is the 17 year old girl that I became very attached to, and vice versa.  She is a darling young woman with dreams of being a social worker trained to help AIDS orphans.  I'm praying that she is able to stay in school to reach her goal.  Pray that love and blessings will be showered upon her, and that besides "perseverance," she'll also have the courage to step into the life she dreams of.  She's a dear, dear girl.  While working on the background of this painting, a halo started to appear around her head and I decided to play that up to remind her of God's presence in her life.

Thanks to Cindy West for allowing me to work from her inspirational photo of Perseverance.
