The Art of Sharing Project

Have you ever wondered if you have a gift worth sharing? Do you paint, write, sing?

Why do some have so much while others have nothing? I have a friend who taught me a wonderful lesson - We should not give to others who have nothing - we should share. It is more respectful.

With this in mind, I am using my gift - painting. In December 2009, I will host an exhibit/sale of paintings based on photos that friends have taken over the years during their trips to Ethiopia, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Bangladesh and more.

A percentage of any sales will be donated to PWRDF - The Anglican Primates World Relief and Development Fund - More on PWRDF later.

As I complete each painting, I will post them here, with the picture's background.

Enjoy.

Silence is Not an Answer

Silence is Not an Answer
My first painting for PWRDF was Silence is Not An Answer. This was based on a photo taken by Mo. Marian Jefferies in Ethiopia ten years ago. The photo was shot two days before the war broke out.

Rina's painting

I have just a bit more work to do on this painting - a bit of highlights and pattern on the clothing - otherwise, I think this is close to being complete. 16 x 20 Oil

This painting is done as well (I think). It is a bit dark here - the original is lighter. 9 x 12 oil

I think I forgot to post this painting before. And I figured out how to incude the copyright note.

I finally have some colour on her face, but I am not too happy about it yet.

I did a bit more work on the sky, but i think it is a bit too strong a colour.
