140 HOURS Haitian Relief Auction

WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP THE PEOPLE OF HAITI?

You can. Artists from all over the world are donating their art to an auction which will benefit Haitian Earthquake Relief efforts.

Here is the original painting I am donating. It is a 5" x 7" framed oil-on-linen air piece titled "Euonymous on Fire #2" which I painted en plein air at the end of my road last fall. The value of the painting is $300; the opening bid is $25. The 140 HOURS Haitian Relief Auction begins at 9 PM on Friday, January 29. I hope you will bid generously on this or other paintings in the auction because 100% of the money raised will go to Haiti. If you'd like to bid, please go to http://140hours.com/. You can also bid at www.twitter.com/140hours. ~Joan

Hello Again!

http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping

It has been so long since I've used my blog that I'm not sure I remember what to do. So much seems to have changed in two years (as one would expect, I suppose).

I have set my oils aside for Christmas and look forward to getting back to them. I only finished one painting in December, so I'm feeling less than productive.

One of my small watercolors, "Autumn Sky," was sold at the Essex Art Association's "Chili Cheap & Chilly" sale December 12th.

I'm pleased that one of my pointsettia portraits was selected for the current show at the Lyme Art Association, "Deck the Walls."

Well, Merry Christmas, Everyone, and Happy New Year also! ~Joan
