Life...is what happens

...to us while we're busy making plans. :) Since I was here a few weeks ago, a very close friend of ours has had a stroke, a bleed into his brain, and he is at this time unable to communicate with any of us in a way that makes sense... He also has permanently lost at least half of his sight. Sometimes these events make one slow down and realize what is really important in life.

Prayers accepted for Bill...

Oh, to be 3 ..... The littlest Artist

Last week our oldest son flew in to surprise me for my upcoming birthday with his baby girl, our youngest grandchild. We had a supreme surprise with lots of good times, going to the ocean, the pool and the park for her to play. What a wonderful visit. Just perfect timing and the joy of youth to lift our spirits. We are so appreciative of his time and work to make this happen. Soooo, life is what happens to us while we're busy making plans.. :)

Now, back to the project for the hospital. I am currently working on the last design, and will post it in here once it is complete. When all is done and squared away, I will have a page/link somewhere with all 7 of the pieces together. The last piece I am designing is a Starfish.

I posted a Sphynx Cat last week for my weekly Art4Critters donation piece... which SOLD with 100% of the money going to Animal Dreams, a group that deals with cats in the Berkshires.

Today I have added a new Aceo to be sold for the same group, Animal Dreams. This piece is a small Aceo of a Flamingo.

New Art 4 Critters Piece / An Aceo a week

We've been brainstorming in ourArt4Critters group for ways to raise more money for our various rescues. I decided that I would paint one ACEO a week and put it up for sale on Ebay. I will be donating 100% of the sale of the small painting to whatever animal charity I list it for. This weeks piece is Persian Bleu. She can be found at:

New Art 4 Critters Project/ An Aceo a week

We've been brainstorming in our Art4Critters group for ways to raise more money for our various rescues. I decided that I would paint one ACEO a week and put it up for sale on Ebay (for now). I will be donating 100% of the sale of the small painting to whatever animal charity I list it for. This is the first one of 52 weeks. I'm hoping to sell one most weeks, so that by the end of the 52 week year, I will have added some quality cash flow to our different shelters. With your help, all things are possible. Spread the word.

This is Lolita. Lolita is a 4 year old, feisty, tiny girl - whippet size. She showers on the affection with much exuberance!
She can be found (if still available) at Greyhound Friends For Life.

SOLD

This painting can be found in my Ebay store. To find more Ebay listings for Art4Critters, Search Ebay A4C .

I will not always be doing a painting/drawing of an animal that is available for adoption, but I do enjoy doing that from time to time. I hope you enjoy following along with our new project for Art4Critters. Please join my blog to follow along, or follow me on Twitter. I'd love to have you.
