A few months ago I did the original sketch for this painting and it was auctioned off on E-Bay. This rendering will be auctioned off at the Wyoming Cares Rocky Mountain Art Show and Sale this weekend. Wyoming Cares provides temporary assistance to Wyoming residents who are faced with extraordinary needs with limited resources and often fall through the cracks of available assistance.
