LET'S BAND TOGETHER AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE

It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do little — do what you can.

Time has been marching on and we are still in desperate need of  funds for Nicole.  So I've decided to open up my blog, in conjunction with my Etsy shop, to sell much of my art, particularly some of my originals, at great prices which will include FREE SHIPPING! Please note that there's still a sale going on at:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/artsalefornicolescause/ for those of you on Facebook.  There are a number of artists who have donated their fine works of art to help raise money for Nicole.  The official Indiegogo fundraiser site for Nicole, comes to an end on June 27.  It will take a few weeks to receive the donated funds and her surgeon must be paid in full by July 22.  But we're going to keep both art sales going because we could easily raise more before July 22 and there's still going be a few thousand dollars needed to cover all the travel expense for the two weeks we'll be there.  Please know that 100% of the proceeds will go for Nicole's surgery.

Before I go any further, I know not everyone believes in this cause, BUT will you reconsider and do this for ME, the mother of Nicole.  I know some of you are personal friends and family members, and by you making a purchase or a donation, you are in essence supporting me through this trying time.  That's just what friends and family do in times of need!

Unlike the art I have on Art Sale For Nicole's Cause, most of what I am selling through my blog and Etsy shop are originals with fantastic prices and everything will ship free in the U.S.  I also have Giclee prints.  For those of you not familiar with this term, the printing is done on a special digital printer, using archival ink and my art is printed onto actual watercolor paper.  I have mine done professionally, and when it's properly printed, it is sometimes very difficult to tell a Giclee print from the original painting.


With most of my originals and prints, you will have a choice whether you want it to come with a mat or without.  Obviously, it will cost less to go without a mat.  Most of  my prints are standard sizes, which means you can go into stores like Michael's, Hobby Lobby, and any frame shop and buy off the shelf.

This is my original watercolor, A BEAUTIFUL DAY.   It measures 11 x 14 inches...
