| WOW!!! If this is just for fun, I wonder what serious is. It's amazingly beautiful. I can only hope to paint this beautifully. Thanks for sharing. |

| Very nice Maggie! The weathered look of wisdom and hard work, protecting and leading the innocent. This could hang in any church in the world. |

| I agree with Dale. My first thoughts on seeing this were about The Father's hands. Isaiah 49:16 says he has us carved or held in the palm of His hand. There's just no better place to be. I love the gentle tender strength of this piece. |

...beautiful Maggie...
have you seen the commerical for tractor supply or something that shows strong hands? ...the narrator says something like "my hands are always dirty from hard work...but my concience is always clean.." I thought it was a great add.

You know, you really should enter this one in the Artist Magazine 2008 competition. I really think this is a winner. I think most of the others would agree with me on this. I was just over there looking at last years winners and they are good, but none of them moved me the way this does.You really should think about it.
