Today's rose is also named by the donor for the recipient, so I need to keep the surprise secret. Another thank you to Carla Scolieri for wiring a stack of the canvases yesterday so that when the buyers receive them, they can be immediately hung on the wall. And thank you to Barry Brodd, Carla's husband, who came by and picked up almost 300 canvases so that Carla can wire them at home.

Today's rose is a gift from the donor to someone who lost their home in the fire. The title is the name of the recipient, so I won't reveal that here.
A special thank you to La Belle Fleur (Town and County Shopping Center) for donating to me two beautiful roses to use as props. This was one of those roses. Thank you Robin and Diane!!! Today's rose is titled "Garden View Circle" to honor my friends Tim and Lona who lost their beautiful home there.
Today's rose is named 3417 Bonita Vista Lane. That's the house where Peggy grew up. Fortunately, it survived the firestorm, which came within a block of the house.
Today's rose is named "Kilarney Circle." It is named in honor of my good friends, Pat and Bill Gittins, who lost their home on Kilarney Circle.
Today we finished the fund raising part of this endeavor and reached my goal of 365 roses sold, and $34,540 raised for the Redwood Credit Union's North Bay Fire Relief Fund. Thank you so much to all who helped. Thank you to Tom Combs, Stephanie Hamilton Oravetz, and Sal Rosano for buying the last three roses. I will continue to post the roses I paint for 365 days, until we reach "Day 365." Again, thank you!!! Dear Tom Swearingen,
