Donation to upcoming “Ride On St. Louis” fundraising event
My fellow St. Louisans are cordially invited to an event taking place this Friday night, November 20th — the 6th Annual “Jan’s Party” to benefit Ride On St. Louis! Again this year, the event will be held at the Arnold Eagle’s Club on Jeffco Boulevard, from 7 -11 pm and will be a fun night of food, drinks, music, raffles and a silent auction.
Every year, because I believe in the purpose of this group, I donate a Gift Certificate to the silent auction, and this year it will be for a 9″ x 12″ Watercolor Custom House Portrait valued at $400! You will also find many other great items to bid on — signed sports memorabilia, Blues hockey tickets, gift certificates and much more — all to benefit this excellent charity!
This wonderful organization is located on the Anheuser Estate in Kimmswick, Missouri and provides equine assisted activities and therapies for adults and children with disabilities, US Veterans, and disadvantaged youths from the greater St. Louis area. ROSL uses the unique movement of the horse to gain physical, mental, emotional and spiritual improvement in the lives of those they serve, all for the greater glory, honor and love of God. For more information on this organization and event, please go to : http://www.rideonstl.org

Watercolor of lovely brick home
Just completed on November 5th… a 9″ x 12″ watercolor of a lovely 2-story brick home in Town and Country, Missouri. The owners had lived here for 22 years and recently moved to Connecticut and wished to have a keepsake of their former home. I hope their custom house portrait brings them many warm memories!
