Good Vibes for a Girl Called "Rah"

 

This is an 11" x 14" watercolor original painting for a lovely lady recently diagnosed with cervical cancer and her beau, Wade.

The painting has been given to the couple for hopes of cheering her up and hopefully her brother's will have a Silent Auction to raise more monies for her and her care. They do have a GoFundMe page at GoFundMe

I will donate ten (10) original Amy S. Petrik watercolor illustrations for Rah's possible Silent Auction, should her family decide to have one locally in Sioux Falls, SD, USA.

On a side note, May 23, 2024, I purchased a 2021 Ford Escape Titanium from Mr. Wade at AutoLand Autos in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, after I had my first car accident since receiving my learner's permit at the age of 14. My former Escape was totalled.

Meet Miss Etta

 


This is Miss Etta.
Amazing human walking amongst us. Saw her walking to and from "somewhere," daily in front of the building I work at on Phillips in downtown Sioux Falls, South Dakota. She has a super groovy vibe about her and when you see someone like that, I really want to meet them. The other day, I spent my lunch hour at my favorite store in Sioux Falls: Zandbroz Variety. Literally walked into the store and there she was in all her glory. I am almost positive, I freaked her out by gushing. But she agreed to letting me draw/paint her liking. And... she loved my creation. 

Here is an awesome Human Kindness Tip: You see someone with a certain groove about them, men or women or a doggo or a fascinating kid... Tell them. People do not compliment others at all. Ever. Life is so short and so many people wander around about life... and it's easy and simple to pay a sincere compliment to any one/thing breathing on Planet Earth.
