I live in Texas about an hour north of Houston, and my heart is broken for the people and the animals in need during this disaster. I painted this watercolor and would like to offer prints for $10 each. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to "Friends 4 Life" (the only no kill shelter in Houston) for the animals directly affected by Hurricane Harvey. Donate directly to "Friends 4 Life" here: http://www.friends4life.org/how-to-help/donate/  

OR purchase my watercolor print here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/554604607/god-bless-texas

FP Edit: Woah! Already 20 prints sold and counting! That's over $200 raised for "Friends 4 Life" of Houston in just a few short hours! That may not seem like a lot, but every little bit helps! If you're not completely comfortable purchasing from my Etsy page, snap a photo of your donation to "Friends 4 Life," message it to me along with your shipping address, and I'll be happy to send you a print that way. Thanks Imgur, y'all are good people.

Well done. Good luck

You think this is the start of fucked up weather cause the carbon levels in the air have risen past the point of no return and now we are

This appears noble, and it’s beautiful. I decided to adopt the cat that meowed my door down at 3am as the water rose roughly 30 ft from 1/2

the door. Naturally, his name is Harvey Beans Plimpton; life is better with him.

Donate to a legitimate charity. Lots of scammers out there trying to make a buck off Harvey. Not saying OP is one but idk they're not.

Maybe send a donation receipt to OP and they will send you a painting instead?

Why wouldn't you just add the link to begin with?

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I can, I just didn't know if it would be something people are really interested in doing. I'll add it now :)

Good luck by the way. I hope you sell a ton and help a lot of unfortunate people in the process.

I understand your trepidation, but even if the majority of people don't care there might be a few who want to know and help out.

Don't donate to the Houston SPCA. They kill pitt bulls for their breed. Help other shelters please!

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

It will most likely go to a no kill shelter/adoption organization.

I donated to the local humane society

Is watercolor an appropriate medium right now?

Around 71% of Earth's surface is not water-covered. Yeah it is wrong to use watercolour and it made me hyperventilate

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 5

Certainly relevent, at least.

the watercolor would be better if it had changing color based off of amount of water in a certain area

8 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 1

That'd be cool. I painted it last year though so I would have had no way of knowing ;)

well then it's very convenient that such a catastrophe happened

8 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 9

I don't know about convenient. Just have the painting hanging in my house, wanted to help and thought this would be the best way to do that
