This little pier is gone...I can't seem to get Galveston off my mind, so I am offering this painting for sale at auction, and will donate 60% of the full auction price for hurricane Ike relief. I will send the money to the Texas Baptist Men Disaster Relief, who I know to be a reputable, dependable organization with lots of financial accountability. They have units that clean up mud and flood damage, they have trailer units for laundry and showers and meals...providing all this and more to disaster victims. I actually took some disaster relief training with them a few years ago and am VERY impressed. I want to spend some time helpingwith them, but have to wait till we have fewer family obligations. So, for now, I can PAINT. This is a small original oil painting, and I am hoping the bidders will jack the price up for Ike Disaster relief. Pass it along!
Great Idea!
ReplyDeleteThe colors in the Galveston paintings remind me of Harry Ahysen. When I asked him about his colors, he said, "Oh, you mean Pepto Bismol Pink and that new Spanish color, Jello." He did a lot of paintings of the coast, ships, etc.
