LA TIENDITA DE ANTIGUA GUATEMALA - Orig. Oil Painting - Special Offer

LA TIENDITA DE ANTIGUA, GUATEMALA - 51"x 39"Donna Clair Original Oil completed in 2001 - Framed with Linen Liner.

My friend Joan Norris, midwife, sent me an e.mail asking if I would help sell this painting to benefit the Northern New Mexico Birth Center.  This painting has been hanging in the Birth Center all these years after I donated it for one of their auctions.  They loved it so much, as did the many, many mothers they have helped through the years, that it has had pride of place at the center.  Times have changed and now with some reluctance, they need to sell this original painting.

If you are interested -- Contact ED, Sandy Campbell, here at the Birth Center: 575-758-1216 or by email: sandy.campbell@gmail.com
Price: $9500 (starting price) it is framed with a linen liner.


Happy 2014!  
Best regards, Donna
