Sketch for Wheel Chair racer, from my drawing pad prior to doing the real ink and watercolor painting that won first prize at the 1993 Central California Art League Spring Show, juried competition, Section for water media, held at the Executive Offices courtyard, Gallo Winery, Modesto, CA.

I was offered good money on my first winner in years, but donated it to where it still hangs, the was Modesto Independent Living Center, now headquarterrs for the Disability Resource Agency for Independent Living.  website is http://www.drail.org.  I was having a manic moment when I donated the painting, but have never regretted the decision, dedicated to Frank, disabled veteran of Viet Nam war, UCR alumni, and Dr. Stephen Hawking, physicist, wheelchair racers.   I have done some presentation panels for DRAIL as a representative of persons with bipolar.
