I’ve been trying to figure out what I can offer my patrons to make their investment pay a little dividend. Ā I am frequently asked to paint this flower or that flower. Not as a commissioned work-usually because they’re students or as poor as I am. And I do take note and try to do those things. It keeps me out of a rut of poppies and peonies. Ā Well I’ve decided that patrons get priority on flower suggestions. Ā If there’s a flower you love I haven’t painted or a color you’d like me to paint a favorite flower in that will be my next painting.

I’m totally fucked

I was forced to spend all my food money on vet care. I’m now trying to save what food I have for the dogs. I have no money for food and no money to get back to court on Wednesday. I don’t know how I’m going to make it. I was hoping cyber week would bring lots of sales but it didn’t. I don’t know why life is so hard.

I’m so desperate I’d sell you just about any of my paintings for anything that you could pay. I’ve taken donations before and I hate it. I’d much rather be selling a painting or a drawing. I know everyone has a rough time during the holidays. They’re really expensive.

I have no right to ask but I really need money.

If you would like to buy a piece pls. DM me. If you you can donate so I can get through I’d be grateful. I just don’t know how I can make it with -.80.

My PayPal is paypal.me/KateHavekost

I just don’t know who else to ask. I’m completely alone in the world.
