(NAPSA)—Most momslovegetting a hand-painted card or picture for Mother’s Day. That’s what Judi Dunbarreceived, not knowing that the painting her daughter, Amanda, gave her would be worth more than $30,000. Mother’s Touch, an astounding portrait of a mother toweling her small daughter after her bath, was Amanda Dunbar’sfirst painting at age 18. Now she’s 19, and her talent has been recognized around the world by art patrons, critics, even Oprah Winfrey, who has twice had Dunbar on her show. Though Dunbar’s paintingssell for upwards of $50,000, your mom can enjoy her art for only $35. Mother’s Touch is one of 64 striking oils featuring children, fami- lies and spiritually uplifting subjects in Guided By Angels, a gift book so-named because Dunbar believes angels guide her hand whenshepaints. A portion of the proceeds from Guided By Angels will benefit Amanda’s Angel Alliance, the artist’s non-profit organization, which has raised almost $250,000 for children’s charities ranging from anti-violence actions to art education projects.
