BOA BABES AND THE NAKED COWBOY

Hello Folks.  Here is a watercolor I did of the Boa Babes (see previous post) posing with the Naked Cowboy in Times Square.  It was so much fun.  We four friends were on our yearly NYC jaunt and we happened upon the Naked Cowboy. So we gathered around him, stuffed money in his boot, and had a passerby take our picture.  When Wanda, Ruth, Pat and I went to NYC, we often lost our daily inhibitions and could become rather boisterous.  But that was the point of the trip, wasn't it?  Thanks for passing by.

BOA BABES

Good morning. This picture I post today is a watercolor I did of my friends, Pat, Wanda, Ruth and me who would go to New York City once a year to get away. We would see some shows, shop in Chinatown and be raucous and silly for 3 days away from home and husbands. Wanda was the instigator of this annual retreat. It is with a heavy heart that I tell you that Wanda passed away last night after a long battle with cancer. She was brave to the end. She was a quiet person with an ironic sense of humor. She was a dedicated employee wherever she worked and was trustworthy beyond the norm. She was a gardener, a cook, a collector of antiques, a compassionate and loyal friend. She was humble. She wouldn't necessarily like it that I am posting this today but she would understand why I needed to do it because she understood me. She will be missed by her husband, daughter, son-in-law, grandson, mother and many more family members. Her friends too will miss her. I knew her 33 years and can't imagine how my life would have been without her. May she rest in peace. May all of you be blessed with such a friend. Give 'em a call.
