Nice human interest story - we need more of those right now. Excellent drawings/paintings - you are really doing well in watercolor class, it shows.

Love the water colors/sketches. I was there that day cheering the little girl on and loved seeing her smile as she came out of the water to cheers and applause. Absolutely encouraged by the kindness of strangers!

It was a very sweet moment. I think there are more moments like this then we realize. That’s my hope, at least.

Thanks, Lisa. I love your pea brain. Think I can quit my day job soon and live off my art? That worked out so well with writing. Lol.
