Tonights Watercolor Thursday

My four little watercolors that mean the the world to my sweet friend Belinda who has an autistic grandson who she devotes so much love and care for.
So it's time for Autism auction to make sure kids like hers get their summer enrichment program. That allows them field trips and picnics.
And to think I met her in a parking lot some 30 years ago when my car wouldn't start. She got me home before my daughter got off the bus.
She's a wonderful friend and even a more wonderful person as she supports all these special kids with
her hard work supporting programs like this.
I'm happy to donate some pictures for auction.
