Carol and David Marine of Daily Paintworks lost their home to the Bastrop fire. 100% of the proceeds of this painting will contribute to the Marine family fundraiser. Read more of their story here. Their family's love for one another and ability to see 'a new adventure' through personal tragedy is nothing short of extraordinary.
