New Banner



Last year the Stouffville Studio Tour created banners that were hung on the lamposts in downtown Stouffville [yes, there is a downtown Stouffville]. 

I decided to have another one made and this is what it will look like. 

Both banners will be up in September.

Ripple

The oil leaking into the Gulf  is a huge issue .....it is sad to think of all the damage that has been done already. The Ripple Project is trying to make a difference. Artist are donating small images and they are being sold for a donation to organizations helping to clean the animals. No money goes to the artist or to the person who started the Ripple. 
These are two Ensō  paintings - Japanese meaning circle. It symbolizes enlightenment, strength, elegance, the Universe, and the void. It also symbolizes an "expression of the moment". All things we need to deal with this crisis.  It  is usually painted in one movement  and there is no possibility of modification. They are original paintings 2.5 in by 3.5  ATC size in acrylic paint on rice paper mounted on acid free card stock with my chop or seal.
   










Check them out here,


Number 877 and 878....if you are interested in having them 
follow the instructions to the right on the Ripple blog for a 
$10.00 donation.
