This piece is very dear to me.  I painted it out of a desire to draw courage from something and it far exceeded my plans.  When naming him, someone mentioned that he reminded them of Aslan, from "Chronicles of Narnia" and I loved the idea so I pursued a name related to the books.  I found the quote, "Courage, Dear Heart" and it immediately spoke to me.  What I found out, later, was that the words were spoken to Lucy, in "Voyage of the Dawn Treader" by an albatross and when she heard it she knew it was a message from Aslan.  
God has spoken to me, through this piece, more ways than I can count.  And when I consider Lucy, I find so many parallels between her life and mine. 
You can order your own reproduction of "Courage, Dear Heart" on paper or canvas, just select your ideal size and product and let me know how I can help!
