  Honoring the incomparable Dolly Parton with this new oil on circular wood panel. Dolly wasn't just music royalty; she was a beacon of fierce empathy. She stood as an unwavering ally for LGBTQ+ equality—living and preaching radical love without condition—while quietly opening worlds for generations of young dreamers by gifting over 200 million books through her Imagination Library.

While we watched, the Presidential Marine Corps unit returned with President Obama from his moving speech at the memorial service for the church folks who were gunned down by a young white supremacist in South Carolina.
