Artworks celebrates #NationalZooLoversDay!
Today is #NationalZooLoversDay! Brittany made this fantastic painting of zebras and said, “Zebras are our favorite animal, they are beautiful! I enjoyed doing this artwork because I have been in the hospital a long time, and I hope when I get out I can see a real one!” #ArtWorksDaily
