Cover Art: I Want to Sing by Dale Gottleib
The painting was the preliminary work for a commissioned piece of art, by Linda Gardner of the Lucia Douglas Gallery, for the new Cancer Center at St. Joe’s. Of the creation process, Gottlieb says, “I found a Rumi quote, which spoke to every molecule in my being. Also at the same time, I was studying the birds of artist Charlie Harper, with whom I feel a deep connection.”
