Default Painting Soldiers

A friend sent me this link telling of this remarkable woman, and talented artist who paints portraits of fallen soldiers and sends them to their families. She usually gets thousands of dollars for her portraits, but accepts no money from their families. She get paid in returned love. A lovely story.

Thanks Richie...it was great to see the caring, giving heart of this woman and how it seemed that each portrait affected her. I am sure the families are so thanksful.
