4) helping raise funds for my brother's adoption fees https://www.etsy.com/shop/aliciaraya?ref=hdr_shop_menu (25% of etsy earnings go towards helping my brother & his family adopt Shiloh, an orphan from Eastern Europe. More on this adoption & his successful adoption last year of a girl can be seen here: http://www.fromhouse2home.us/)
But through it all, I still would like to make time to visit the different peoples online I have shared art with over the years
This sketch was a commission from the custom charcoal gig - the story was to create a drawing that portrays an elderly person afraid to leave their house. I know it's probably not the most uplifting message/artwork, but i found it one of the more interesting commmissions I've received. The best part is that $9 goes to the adoption :D
Hope y'all have a swell day!

that is a sad painting, it underscores what the senior years can mean. You have been busy with all good things.
You've been very busy! It is a sad piece, but powerful.
Hi Alicia. ltns. Good to see you. I love your sketch. Yes it does depict seniors and what they can expect. I'll tell you one thing though, my Mom will never be behind a window waving at me, hoping for another visit soon. I'll take care of my Mom come rain or shine. Very nice work. You've been busy. Take care and have a great rest of the year.
good sketch, but very sad. Im sure there are many seniors who feel trapped. I hope your brother is able to adopt!
That is a sad drawing but you have portrayed the theme very well.
Well wishes to your brother and his family for Shiloh's adoption. An exciting time, I'm sure.
how wonderful that you are helping raise money for the adoption. It is a daunting task (one I'm about to face) and yet such an important one!
That's a compelling piece, and for an excellent cause. You've been very busy, but it all seems to be worthy of your time. Blessings, my friend!
