Last week, Maria made a coloring page for the Locked-Down residents of the Mansion Assisted Care Facility.
She e-mailed it the Mansion, and they printed it out for the residents. It’s called a Digital Coloring Page.
She wrote about it and some people asked if she could put further drawings up for sale. They were cooped up and wanted something to draw or color, for themselves, their children, or their grandkids.
She did this one over the weekend, it’s called “Inside Out,” and it’s up for sale on her Etsy Page for $3. People can download it off the Etsy site, print it out and start coloring. It’s quite simple.
Maria draws all of the time, I think it’s a wonderful idea for her to start selling some of her drawings now, and so inexpensively.
Another way to use art for good.
You can see and buy the drawing here, and read about it here.
The time has come for me to say good-bye to my 20+ year old dog: Junior. He has severe arthritis, can no longer walk more than a few steps, is semi-comatose, refuses food. His excellent vet – Dr. Kevin Fowler – saved Junior from death five years ago with a Hail Mary treatment: I’m so grateful for Junior’s extra years of good times. Dr. Fowler has done all possible to make Junior’s life since then good, but there’s nothing more to be done. I’ll take Junior to Dr. Fowler tomorrow at 8AM, be with Junior until the end. Jon. your wisdom about end-of life is making this tolerable: it’s not about me – it’s about Junior.
