Artists give to International Children’s Heart Foundation

Through our Linked in friendships we began a chat group and one of our members, Peter Filzmaier suggested to the group that we each give a painting to a charity.  Herminia Haro from Peru shared how the International Children’s Heart Foundation did a life saving surgery on her son.  She asked if we would like to contribute a painting for a charity event to raise funds for THE INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN’S HEART FOUNDATION
80 Monroe Avenue, Suite G-1 Memphis, TN., 38103, USA .

The results are wonderful with all of the following artists sending at least one painting to the International Children’s Heart Foundation in Memphis, Tennessee, U.S.A.  So from around the world, these are the contributors;
