| Blessing Of Rain - 12x12", pastel on dark brown cardstock plein air © S.Johnson |
This afternoon, pre-monsoon clouds filled the skies, and I decided to drive out to Pastorias SWA on Florida Mesa to paint the clouds. It was a joyous thing to see rain coming down in the mountains to the north.
As I painted this, I was thinking of the people that have lost their homes, and how helpless and sad this has made me feel. I decided that the one thing I could possibly do was donate to the Red Cross. So, I've decided to donate $100 from the sale of this painting to the Pikes Peak chapter of the American Red Cross.
Price for the painting is $185 ppd. I will provide a receipt of the donation to the buyer.
Thank you for looking.
Beautiful work -- and what a generous gesture! I pray some rain falls on Colorado soon! How sad to see the news reports.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting SOnya. :) That is such a tragedy, what's happening in COlorado. I can't even imagine it. How generous of you to help. :)) You're awesome. My brother and his family live in Colorado but luckily are not close to the fires.
ReplyDeleteAnd you mentioned you might have some photos of native americans for me to paint a couple weeks ago and I forgot to reply to your email and say 'yes please!' If you get a chance let me know where they are and I'd love to paint them. Thanks friend.
Thank you. While my husband and I did not lose our house, many people we know did and so many in our community are struggling with the loss.
ReplyDeleteThank you, ladies, for your comments - much appreciated. I wish there was more I could do to help. We will all be so relieved when monsoon season gets here in earnest and reduces the fire risk.
ReplyDeleteCrystal - I will downsize the pics and put them in a Picasa gallery and send you the link so you can use whichever ones you like :).
