This spirit painting came in layers. At first, a green base. Then a frantic painting over top with the word "Help" coming through. Then a pause to recoup, and then a soft and joyful covering over with bright pinks and reds. It felt like love. So the title reflects not only the call for help, but also the help that arrives. This painting hung in the PINK exhibit at the Art Center in Butler, PA in 2007... part of Breast Cancer awareness. It did not sell, but soon after a friend of mine learned she had breast cancer. I gifted this painting to her with the hope it would bring the help she needed. That was in early 2008. She is still with us.
