Tim asked permission to create his image of Mother Teresa on an oval canvas so that he might have the work displayed in an antique frame that he thought would be perfect for highlighting Mother. The frame wraps itself around the portrait as Mother wraps her arms around the little one she holds. One of Mother's most remembered quotes is, "How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers."
