" Helping Hand " orig.oils $1295 16 X 20 2011 Limited Prints (25) numbered and signed by Enrique (16 X 20): 1. $300 2. $200 3. $100 4 to 25 ($50 each) Art Garage Gallery is having a contest in February 2012. Mainly about hearts. I thought about what my sister Merciditas told me (back in the early 70s), she said she over heard one of the nurses (party in our house) saying my dad has very soft hands,lolzz,he told me during WWII he wanted to help people who were dying (or lend a " Helping Hand " but he couldnt because he was just a kid) and thats what motivated him to be a doctor (goal achieved). And the different color leaves represents being on call any second of the day/night. Delivering healthy babies (diff.colors/nationality). 2 pics.of woman and a baby carved on the tree.In fact he delivered me in the living room at home. He wanted to make sure its a boy because there were 3 girls before me. I also remember the time one of his friends accidentally cut his tongue off while eating steak with a knife and my papa went over to his friends house and sewed his tongue back together. My dad passed 11/09. " Helping Hand " approved. To be dropped off at Art Garage Gallery 1/28/12 and it will be on display for the whole month of 2/12.
