Three years ago I started a project called Santas for Sara.  We wanted to help Sara Swenson with her medical expenses, so we created this project.  This year we have chosen to help Michelle Parsley's children, and her family.  One summer morning, last June, Michelle Parsley McClelland, was tragically killed in a car accident.  We are trying to help her daughters with expenses.   Brylee is 3 and Berklee is 1and a half.  By purchasing a Santa decoration for your home, or a gift for a friend, your $30 donation will go towards the care of two beautiful little girls.  This will be their first Christmas without their Mommy.  Our hearts go out to the Giovanetti and Parsley families.

I have finished another painting, from another pose of Mr. John Tewell (former City Councilman for Fallon).  This will be the second edition, so people can add to their Santa Paintings Collection.  Not too worry, we still have some of the First Edition left, so if you missed out you can get one of those as well.

These are  beautiful Santa paintings for your home, for the Holidays and Christmas!  Santa is my friend, John Tewell  who graciously took time out of his day (last year) to pose for me.  I approaced John to be my Santa, so I could paint (digitally, on the computer) his portrait and make it whimiscal and snowy for a fundraiser.  Yes, these portraits, 1 through 40 will be sold for fundraising. We feel that, in our community, it is the banding together to help each other, that makes Fallon so great!  So if you want something special for your decor and can purchase a Santa Painting, all of the proceeds will benefit Gwen Nix's medical expenses.   The Paintings (digitally enhanced photography) are available for $30.  They are matted with a sparkling white mat and signed and numbered by John and myself. 

The pieces will be available at:  Cobblestone Corner, Slanted Porch, Red Zinnia, Flower Tree, Just Country Friends, Digitex/Jeff's Copy Express, Creative Cuts, Friends Salon

Of course we will have these at our studio for sale too, so come on in!!  423-9700  :-)
