It's been a long time since I have added anything new but I have been working. I have Gi-tli in Turquoise up again because he was recently Giclee' to auction off for a very good cause. He went to CASA of Lea County. CASA is "Court appointed special advocates" for foster children. I still had ALOT of work to do on him as I was not completely satisfied with the giclee'. He is a watercolor, and the results were so different.... So I went to work and practically repainted him. I felt like I gave away a child when I handed him over, but out of about 40 items, 30ish were bid on and he was one. According to my thank you letter, he went to a south west art collector and is happy in his new home. The auction was held at the Black Gold Casino in Hobbs, NM and was a well attended catered affair, everything being donated, and raised $45,000.00. Not bad for their first auction. And please remember this is Hobbs, NM. I have a new project in the works, it is a watercolor of 3 sisters on the beach...VERY new for me, so far so good, we'll see. There is also two other paintings in progress, a border collie, and a kitty looking for a home. I will however have to find somewhere to donate kitty, the humane society here is all but debunked and "Dogs Deserve Better" has been contacted twice with no response...I don't give up too easily, I'll find a good place to donation it. Well, in case you haven't heard, the Red Sox are in the playoffs, third year in a row, that is a new record for them! Here's to another World Series! Keep on painting...

Wonderful work! Donating work to not-for-profits is a fun and good thing to do. I have 2 cutting s in progress for Essential Tremors and Fibrous Dysplasia...will let you know when they are done and hopefully accepted.
Keep up the great work...you have a very big heart!
