Meet Hernancita, a joyful and energetic girl from a small village on the Amazon River. This little girl captured my heart when we were in her village on the Amazon River in 2023. She joyfully bounced from the hammock to the kitchen, from outside playing on the grass to inside and up the make-shift stair case that went to the thatched roof second story of the wooden house they live in. She made everyone smile and was great entertainment.

My favorite memory of her was at church that night when she joined her mama up on the one-step wooden platform to sing at the top of her lungs praise songs to Jesus, with her little eyes closed and hands raised to worship the King of kings. I’m sure God was so pleased of His little daughter.  Her spunk and innocence will capture your heart and provide great entertainment. Take her home with you and spread the love.

Original artwork is far more beautiful than a print, even the best of prints. Choose to treat yourself to this original painting that brings inspiration and reflects the beauty God has created in each of us, especially the children.
