"Anonymous II" - Ialo Wa

December 24, 2009: Today, I received a check from an anonymous donor in the amount of $250 dollars. Written in black ink under the heading "Purpose/Remitter" was the following: Donation for Art as Authority. Christmas came right on time this year in an anonymous envelope filled with the true spirit of giving and not receiving. Thank you. I'm humbled by your generosity, honored by your recognition, and inspired by your faith and trust in what I set out to accomplish with this blog, that is, a catalyst for crtical and honest discussion about art. I'm not alone in this endeavor of course, none of this could be possible without the artists whose work inspires me each and every day. There are many choices out there to be made, good causes to support, and needy individuals who could use a helping hand. I accept your gift graciously with pride, satisfaction, and the gratitude from the bottom of my heart that you have chosen to support not only the blog but the arts as a whole. Thank you. I'm truly blessed.
