THE GIRL'S DAY OFF

The Girls day off was painted for a couple at church. Pat is visually impaired and Andy, her husband, is blind. The moment I spotted Andy and Pat I knew I had to paint the girls, Trivia and Linny. "They are 10 now" they said with heartfelt concern in their eyes. I understand that feeling, mine are 12, 14, and 16 1/2 now. They are part of the family...the kids. These 2 are extra special because they have a very special job, taking care of and helping mom and dad.
This painting is sold and all profits went to, guidedogs.com ,the school these two lady's were trained at. Any reproductions or commissions from or for Guide Dogs for the Blind will also result in a 25% donation.
