Hope for Creativity auction time is here again

Once again this year I have painted a palette for donation to the folks at Hope for Creativity, who give art supplies to kids in need.  This year I played on last year's concept, where I painted a landscape and had my hand holding a brush painted over it.   So the idea this year is called   "What's in your paint tube?"  and you can see what was in mine:

You can visit the site to read about the program and the other artists  involved in the auction:   http://www.hopeforcreativity.org/Artists_of_Engage.html    there will be information there for the auction when it begins if you are interested in purchasing one of the palettes.

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.
