This is a great oil painting with a large Jesus holding a staff or cane with a yellow circle and a larger pale pink behind the face and shoulder in a pale blue sky and clouds around Jesus. He is overlooking the sea with a sailboat to the right of his hand on the water and a blonde haired boy sitting on shore in the weeds with sand, rocks and several pebbles on the sand. He is dressed in coveralls with a white shirt and a white hat with a blue bill and band around it. The girl is standing next to him with a brownish jumper on with a white blouse with short puffed sleeves. She has blondish brown pigtails. She also has a white hat with a brim around it and a blue band around the center of the hat. She is holding a fishing pole in her right hand (not casted in the water) and a pail in her left arm hanging on her forearm close to the elbow. They are both overlooking the water looking at the sailboat. There is patches of a grasslike weed with a few stems coming out of the center of the grass looking somewhat like wheat. BILL BAYER has printed his name in a salmon color in the lower right had corner in a patch of this grass coming up through the sand. The water looks to be the ocean or sea with small waves and white caps. I don't have a picture of the painting to post at this time. I was hoping by the cerfication # of 301540 it could be located. It also has a business card of Home'Calleries, inc. on it with a phone # of 312-860-3324 on it but when I called the number it went to voice mail and was a person not a gallery the way it was answered. It also had a name of D Morris,460 Oak, Williamsen printed in ink on the back top of canvas and printed on the wood insert next to the fram HECHO EN MEXICO JUNIO 86.
