Thanks for the advice Michelle, I am taking notes from all of you and I just revisited your website, you have such lovely paintings of young children. All I know right now is that there are four children under the age of eight!

Thanks, Carol. I find I really enjoy the auctions. I was pointed to a great organization called SMILE and will be donating a graphite portrait this month. It is for single moms in Cleveland who want to further their education. They raise money and offer scholarships. One of my friends is a psychologist and donates her time to group therapy for these women. I never have time to donate, so a portrait is the best I can do with my busy schedule. I have had two occasions when the person who won the bid never cashed in on their portrait. That is very frustrating!
