Hill Country Autumn Donation

You probably know that I give paintings to certain charities.  Mike Etie, Austin Pastel Society artist and friend, asked for donations for the ASH (Austin State Hospital) Insights Art Show and Sale to be held in January.  I think my Autumn in the Hill Country painting is perfect for that.

You can attend the event and bid on my painting  and artwork by patients in the hospital and other well known artists including Mike.

Joan, thanks. I had fun doing that painting. There is a video on the side of my blog. I forgot to mention that in my post.
