A friend in Syria


I recently read a post being circulated by Americans trying to justify the changes in visa laws for people in Syria and several other countries. It demonized the people who live in those countries. This woman is caring for the pet cat that belonged to someone evacuated from Aleppo. She looks like someone who could be my friend. I love the colors of her clothes, her familiarity with the big cat, and the smile lines in her face. We are all sisters and brothers. There are good people everywhere. While the earnings from most of the paintings I sell go to a wildlife conservation program, this painting’s proceeds will go to Aleppo. I support an animal shelter in the making that is happening there. Please inquire if you want to buy this painting.
