Shipping Fun

Again, I'm so thankful to those of you who have donated to my art fundraiser for 2020's breast cancer related expenses. The paintings are now dry enough and ready to ship as seen in the above photo. On my list for today is to take these paintings to the post office for shipping. Quite a few paintings have  already been picked up or delivered -- will  finish up when the rest of the addresses have been collected. There's still time to get in on the action, though less than a dozen paintings are left of the 10" x 10" size for a $100 donation; nine paintings left of the 8" x 10" size for a $80 donation. This has been a very fun project. 

The Amazing Reese and I are so, so grateful to all of you -- those who have prayed for us, and those of you who have donated. And, we're especially grateful to my cousin, Betsy, who organized the GoFundMe. 

Girl With Apple

 

Three years ago, mere weeks before I was diagnosed with breast cancer, in a focused flurry of activity, I painted several paintings, but because of the stress of life at the time, never wrote about any of that work. Girl With Apple is one of those paintings. It's 16" x 16" oil on board. 

Yesterday, I found out that Girl With Apple was accepted into Visual Art Alliance's 37th Juried Membership Exhibition by juror Shana Nys Dambrot. She is an art critic, curator, and author based in Downtown LA, and also the Arts Editor for LA Weekly. Out of 276 submissions, she selected 71 works for the show, so obviously I'm pleased to be in such good company. In the age of covid, this will be an online exhibit only, with the opening on Sunday, November 29th, at a to be determined time. I'll be posting again with updates as the day approaches. 

FYI, there are still paintings available in my art fundraiser for breast cancer related expenses. For those of you who have already contributed, if you live in Houston, let's make arrangements for pick up or delivery. For those of you who live out of town, I'll start shipping soon. Please send me your address if I don't have it already. 🙂

Early Thanksgiving

This week, my heart is full of gratitude for the friends, and friends of friends, who have graciously contributed to my art fundraiser for breast cancer related expenses. 

There are still around a dozen 10" x 10" paintings and nine 8" x 10" paintings in inventory for a donation of either $100 or $80. Paintings should be ready to ship by the end of the week. (These would make great gifts!)

My cousin started a GoFundMe if you'd like to contribute there.
