ellenkushnerTerri Windling's half-price sale of original art ends this week, so if you've been procrastinating, postponing, deliberating, debating or just saving pennies, now is the time to fish or cut bait!
I posted about it originally here - including my love of my own collection of Terri's work.
Terri's latest update is here. She has managed to get her dear relative through the worst of the initial crisis, but, as many of you know, it's always a long haul.
I asked Terri (in Comments to her first post) about how people might help even if they couldn't afford an oil painting; she replies:
I'm setting up a Paypal account and people can make donations there, or even send a check. They should just write me care of the Endicott Studio (endicottstudio [@] yahoo.com] for details, since I don't want to list the address publicly.
He is a lovely guy -- one of those hard-working guys who takes care of everyone else, has looked after all the elderly in the family, and finds it incredibly hard to be in a position of needing help himself. Even now he worries more about the effect that possibly homelessness could have on his cat than on him. He worked hard all his life, paid his taxes on time, etc.etc., and this wasn't supposed to happen. (Welcome to health-care American style, where so many of us are just one big injury or illness away from disaster.) On the plus side, he has family and some very dear friends who love him -- and I'm grateful for the way the mythic arts community has been helping out too.
So yes, donations are welcome, even small amounts. Hey, five bucks will buy some cat food after all!
(Hey - why the hell don't I have a TW art Icon, anyway?)
And if a painting's not in the cards, you can still order fine prints of her work from Endicott Studio (U.S. only)!
