Stony Pass

     "Stony Pass" is an original 11" x 14" oil painting I did for my friend Trudy. I'm so glad her photograph wasn't taken any closer to the edge of this precipice because I'm not fond of heights of this magnitude.   I imagine it's a view taken somewhere in the Rocky Mountains.  I'm so glad she is pleased with the result.

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

Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit is what we say in my family on the first day of each month. Then we make a wish, knowing it will surely come true. My wish today on the first of February is that I can really get my blog up and running so that I can share my art work with all of you.
