Page 9 in Progress

This photo is a closeup of a small part of Page 9 of The Biggest Family in the World (painting is in progress). A young boy approaches Charles Mulli, who is traveling in his Mercedes Benz. There are several other children and teens who are observing the "rich man" in his vehicle.

I am hoping that the faces of all of the children in this book will connect with the children who read this book in the future, and create productive discussion between parents and the young readers.

I had an opportunity and privilege to be one of many to nominate Mr. Mulli for the 2013 CNN Hero. How else can you describe a man who gave away a multi-million dollar lifestyle to raise thousands of street children and orphans? If you would like to learn more about his mission, you can view a short video by clicking here....

This video you will see is the one that was played in my home church that inspired me to paint The Mully Children's Family Mosaic, which you can view at this link.

The Biggest Family in the World - a new children's book based on the life of Charles Mulli, planned for publication in 2014. This is a blog chronicling the book's creation from the perspective of the artist.
