We Are Islands – Islands of Hope

We Are Islands – The Show is Over, The Project Continues:
The show is over, we had a great time and raised $800 for the Pueblito Canada/FUNARTE projects in Nicaragua. Now it’s time to look forward – but first, I’d like to say thank you to everyone who came, enjoyed and took time to vote for the painting they liked best, and to those who bought paintings and prints. I really enjoyed seeing old friends and meeting and beginning to know new ones. Spending time with you at an event like “We Are Islands” is a great incentive to work harder and push my art farther. I’ve put more about how things went here, for those who are interested. Or you can do as those who came were able to do, and choose your favorite picture here.
Now I’m putting plans in place to sell more prints and raise more money for the Primary Colours and ArtWorks2 Projects of Pueblito Canada and FUNARTE in Nicaragua. You can now purchase prints at my online store, and I’ll let you know of any other opportunities.
More about why I’m doing this, and why I hope you’ll help here.
