Zelle considers this painting to be the most important work she has done. In fact, she has had prints made of this work. Incidentally, Zelle has signed the painting with CPA in the lower right. CPA stands for Cotton Patch Artist. This is composed of a white church with a graveyard and people watching while the souls of believers are raptured up into the sky. Jesus awaits with a smile and wearing a crown in the clouds.
