The total amount raised as of Friday night, October 20, was $18,190. I have committed to paint 193 roses, or a little over one month per day for six months. Please help me get to one year of painting roses. Thank you to the following people for moving me closer to this goal: Karen Bowers, Joanne Cali, Laurie Chesnut, Marcie Christensen, Ron and Kitty Faria, Mary Hunt, Cindy Jones, Christopher Kenward, Jack Kilbride, Michael Larkins, Serena Lienau, Scott Lockhart, Shirley McMorrow, Daniel Montgomery, Lynne Re, Jackie Reese, Louise Riedle, Clare Rosensteel, Ernie Simard, Rick Tigner, Dave Turner, Loie Walman Yesterday, my cousins John Giuseponi and Mark Giuseponi volunteered to pay all of my expenses. That would include packaging, mailing, paint, etc. Their generosity, combined with the offer by Zak and Kristen at Village Art to provide all of my canvas, has been overwhelming. Thank you from my heart, John and Mark, and Zak and Kristen!!! I was going to use some of the income from Art Trails to offset some of these expenses. Now I can donate all of the income from Art Trails. Please come and visit me in my studio this weekend and next for Sonoma County Art Trails.
