Reef Painter
I know it has been a while since I have visited the forum, but I wanted to share this blog with my online family. Gina, Wit, Kim and Travis, if you are still out there, I would love to hear what you have to say!
This week in the studio has been one that has kept me on edge. I recently found out that a good friend of mine may have breast cancer. Being who I am I tried to poke fun and make light of a situation that actually shook me up pretty badly. So how does an artist deal with near death experiences of a close friend?
Introducing a new project: Cure Reef
This is going to be a 24″ x 36″ painting of oil on canvas. It will be a traditional ‘On The Flats’ reef scene, but with a twist… A pink one, right in the middle of the reef.
I wanted to show all the reef fish gathering in the center of the canvas forming the shape of the all too familiar pink ribbon signifying the strength and unity of those who are fighting and those who have won the battle over breast cancer. Here is a quick sketch I completed this evening.
I still need to figure out what I am doing with the original and profits from the prints, but one thing is for sure and that is the majority of the funds raised will go to a breast cancer charity. At this point I am just unsure which one. If you have a suggestion, please shoot me a line as I am all ears.
