Primo y Toli

Dear Friends and Family -

Although I am including two photographs of my work with this email, that is
not the main purpose of this email. Instead, this is a heartfelt 'Thank You
Message', just in time for your Thanksgiving Holidays.

The photographs are both family oriented, so perhaps it fits. The drawing
is of two very sweet people - "Primo y Toli" - and was commissioned by my
niece in Lodi. Since I have not seen those two for many years, completing it
was a bit of walking down memory lane for me.

The other is a painting, "Light for Mom", which is going to be a December
gift for someone special to me. Don't tell her if you know who she is,
please.

And now for the thanks to all of you who have helped make the world a better place - either by receiving one of my paintings in exchange for a donation to a worthwhile non-profit, or by helping me spread the word and mission of Donation Art. It is unlikely that I will have a chance to paint more before 2016, so this is also our end-of-year thank you.

Bob (master mind of framing, shipping and promotion ideas) and I are both grateful that the Donation Art Project has done so well this year. Once again it resulted in record donations, primarily to the following organizations:

Beacon After School Program
Doctors Without Borders
Escalante Canyon Everett Ruess Days
Lane Community College Esperanza Scholarship Endowment Fund
Moab Valley Multicultural Center
Tahoe Rim Trail Association
World Food Program
Youth Garden Project

It was a busy year for us, and I am sure that I forgot some small donations made to other organizations somewhere, but suffice to say that good things happened. Please enjoy your well-deserved holidays, remember others who need your help, and keep safe and warm.

Thank you for helping make the world a better place,
