A few months ago, I decided to open a Substack account. At the time, I thought it was a great way to monetize my Art and Stories. I never figured out how to put a donation tag on the account but I enjoy sharing anyway. 

At the time, someone told me about a donation account called Buy me a Coffee. I joined that and put the link on the bottom of my home page on my website.  I have no expectation, but I think it is a nice idea. People who don’t need or can’t afford original art, can still support favorite artists for five or ten bucks.

This week a friend in California bought me a 10.00 cup of coffee with the link. I was surprised and so delighted by this generous gift! How thoughtful! I occasionally assist artists, and buy art for my daughters. So many of us live marginal lives. It is a wonderful treat! 

This country painter thanks all who care for artists…
