I knew that eventually I wanted to do a painting of the school. As i remembered driving by in earlier times, and seeing the children at play, I also knew that the painting would include the children playing happily, the simple games that they so much enjoyed. Prayers and tears mixed with my paints as I worked with pencil and brush in hand. The parents and extended families of these dear children were always on my heart, along with the couragous people who responded in so many ways to their emergency. I pray that we will carry in our lives the joy and happiness of the children, along with the spirit of Forgiveness shown by the parents and families of the Nickel Mines Community. Elsie Beiler (Artist) A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Nickel Mines School and The Roberts Family Funds.   Please Please note that the last line does not hold true of this sale.
