Water For Everybody! – 5″ x 7″ Watercolor & Ink
This is for Illustration Friday and the word “Water”. I had so much fun doing this painting! The background is loosely based on a photo by Theclosetpainter on Paint My Photo. The birds are painted from a photo by Robin Lovelock at the same site. Don’t you just love those birds? 
Robert Collier
Robert Collier’s inspirational books have changed the lives of thousands. He was a prolific writer and progressive publisher who strongly believed that happiness and abundance were within easy reach.
Robert “Bob” Collier was born April 19, 1885, in St. Louis, son of Mary Ferguson and John Collier. His mother died when he and his older brother were not yet teenagers. His father traveled widely as a foreign correspondent for Collier’s Magazine (founded and published by his uncle, Peter F. Collier). Robert was educated in a church seminar school and was expected to become a priest, but before taking his vows, he decided against the life of a clergyman and headed for West Virginia to seek his fortune.
