heART4Sudan work

Somewhere in back of mind, infiltrating the dreams, work that have responded to visually or simply a message trying to get through-this image comes to me.

While scanning the life section of this Sunday's newspaper settled in to read about one of my favorite artist mentors Trish McKinney. Many months ago a call out for artists had been asked for on behalf of the children of the Sudan. She answered that call with a very touching piece created from her work. Fortunate that she again calls to the artists to submit (donate) their concept (which will be juried) and if selected 100 percent of the sale will go to this charity.

Through a childs' eyes on way to new home in Korea

Finally, the piece has been shipped.
This one was included in the Holiday "Artists in Auction" last December. Unfortunately it has taken this long to finalize all transactions. In preparing the shipping documents to Seoul Korea became little sentimental about sending the piece off. Trish McKinney was instrumental in encouraging me back into the world of marketing my Art. Last time had shown my work was by way of Ft. Wayne Ind back in the early '80s. This piece has the name in response to a young child who happen to be walking past us while we were learning techniques that Trish was demonstrating. Watching the mixing of the colors the child became so excited that his Mother was having trouble moving him along.
It's one thing for us to start developing work and quite another watching the excitment of a young child who see's what colors mixed with water can do for the first time. Infectious.
