Your 9 year old? I'm very impressed. I see she'll have a future in illustration! And how awesome of her to donate the money to such a good cause. Bravo!

This is a beautiful little penguin. What a great story. When I was 12, I sold my first art in a craft show, painted ceramics at the time. I made $100 and it felt amazing. It took me a few years, but I found my way back to my art and I'm so thankful everyday to know what I love to do. I hope she keeps painting too.

IF:Fortune --- True Story of a Baby Hippo & Tortoise Friendship

Image
This week's prompt, Fortune, inspired me to draw the Orphaned Baby Hippo (Owen) who adopted a 130 year old Tortoise (Mzee) after the 2004 Tsunami. At first, Mzee did not want to be Owen's "mother," but Owen persisted and by the end of their first night, the two were found snuggled up together. It is good fortune that Owen met Mzee and they were to become unlikely friends. You can find out more by typing their names on the WEB. They are at Haller Park Sanctuary in Africa. It is a heartwarming story that my daughters' introduced me to.
