Keaton Prints
A friend directed my attention to the beautiful pencil sketches of Jean Keaton. They are spiritually uplifting and I wish to share them with everyone. This page is intended to introduce you to this wonderful person and her work.

After sending the "sneak-peeks", Mauree sent the following. You will need to refer to their web site to view the prints. http://www.keatonprints.com/index.htm
Dear Don,
I thought that along with the sneak-peaks, that perhaps you would be interested in the stories behind some of the prints.
Several
of Jean's drawings are of her own children with Jesus - they were
originally not done to market - they were just for her and her family. Her
children are pictured in, Playful Boys, Laughing Baby, and Teach me to Walk. The
print, Christ's Embrace, is of a 16 year-old girl named Sarah. Jean did
this drawing for Sarah's struggling family, after Sarah was killed in a car
accident. A minister in Sarah's family's church said that he felt prompted
to tell them, "If you think Sarah had a great impact on peoples lives when
she lived on this earth, just sit back and watch - you haven't seen anything
yet". Sarah's picture has been very successful in giving peace and
comfort to many. Five Little Angels, my favorite, are drawings of the five
little girls, (four of the five were from the same family), that died in
the trunk of a car in West Valley City, Utah in 1998. http://www.cnn.com/US/9808/07/trunk.deaths/
I am sure you can imagine the impact these drawings, of Christ welcoming these
young ones home, had on their families. Both the five little girl's
& Sarah's families gave their consent and blessing to have these prints
marketed.
