Hope for Creativity

This painting, done on an artist's palette, is for a charity auction.  Check out www.hopeforcreativity.org  for the information on their October first auction.  The palettes will be sold to raise money to purchase art supplies for needy children.  When I found out about this I was excited to join in;  as an artist and art teacher, this is just the sort of thing I can get behind.  The idea behind my painting, which is also written on the blue band around the landscape is:

Hope in the dawn of a new day, be inspired by the world around you, and free your creativity.

It has my celtic knot, and a look that reminds me of 'Creativity' one of  my past paintings.  If you like it go to the site and find out about the auction, it's for a good cause.

Another Flower Girl



'Iris'

She has been finished for a couple of months, but I just got around to photos.  This 10 inch square acrylic is part of the continuing series of 'flower girls'.  Painted around the edges, which are 1 inch.  She has more in common with Lily than Rose, tucked into this field.  Although, if you recall Lily, there is no landscape, so it is a bit more of a portrait.  I have begun work on Holly, which should be done in time for the holidays, and  therefore fit right in.


' Iris '

 * If anyone has a title for the old man at Arrlington let me know, right now I am calling it 'Despair'.
