Collective art project to send Will some love and support.

Hi everyone.
So here is a link to a shared folder that you can all add your high resolution images to.

Let me know if there are any issues with it!

@ShannonBiondi Hi Shannon, I uploaded a file because this poem reminded me of how Will has talked about his wife over the years. It doesn't fit the theme of a guardian angel, so if this is not appropriate, I will try to come up with something that does.
Thank you for organizing this
-
@BichonBistro I think that's lovely and really moving
Did you paint the background? It's gorgeous. Thanks for sending it!@abhainn_fionn

@ShannonBiondi Thank you Shannon, yes it's a painting of the shoreline in Ocracoke, North Carolina, cropped to fit the square motif. Somewhere I saw a photo of Lori at a beach and Margaret Mead's poem just reminded me of Will, especially the line "to the faithful, I have never left". I think we are all heartbroken for Will and feel helpless to console, so the gofundme and this book provide a means for us to let Will know how very much he is in our hearts. Thanks so much.

@BichonBistro It's a really beautiful painting and I'm sure he'll find a lot of comfort in the poem. Yes, I was so happy his friend set up a GoFundMe. As you say, even though I've never met Will, I still really wanted to help in any way I could as he is such a kind and generous person. I'm so happy this got traction - hopefully we will be able to comfort him a bit through the art he helps us create.

I didn't put my name on it. Does it need to be on the picture? I guess it doesn't need to be. Thanks.

@ShannonBiondi Iām in. Your last words pulled me over my trepidation about sharing my work. But Will would be the first person to say out it out there.
Great idea.
-
@Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen Fantastic Marsha!!! That's a really cute image. If there are any words you wanna share with Will let me know. Whenever you get a chance could you upload the art work into the Google Drive folder I shared? I know I said to post it here but apparently there's a cap on resolution on the forum... Thanks!

@Susan-Marks Yes! That's absolutely what he would say! Can't wait to see your piece!
-
@Johanna-Kim I just saw the piece you uploaded. It is so cute!!!
@abhainn_fionn

@ShannonBiondi oh, sorry. I didn't see that. I was wondering why the were no other images. I'll have to try it later on my laptop. Thanks.

I love your idea. I will try to have something by then!
-
@Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen Love your piece:)
-
@ShannonBiondi Thanks so much:) I wonder if you might suggest in your directions at top that in addition to uploading hi-res images to the Google folder, that we all share lo-res versions to this feed as well, as inspiration to each other.
Here's mine:)
