the M. Div. graduation oil

At the local graduation recognition party--way back in April--guests were asked not to bring gifts, but, if they wanted to contribute to the purchase of an original oil by Christine David as the grande graduation gift, that gift would be deeply appreciated.

Finally the painting was chosen, framed, finished with varnish, signed, sealed, and delivered.  Here is the graduate receiving it from the artist, Christine David.  I can't think of the title, but it is an abstract poppy.
