In just a few days, the Operation Fundstorm: Hurricane Michael Relief Fund auction has raised over $83,000.00 with artist donations!

Right now there are 75 new paintings on the site; here are mine (lot numbers 251 and 252). 100% of the proceeds go to help the people in Florida's devastated panhandle. Thank you for spreading the word.
