Description
Here is my most recent painting of a seated Ballerina. She is 24" x 24", Oil on Canvas. A treasure I hate to let go but...a greater cause that is before us is in more need than me having a beautiful painting. For the last seven years, I have donated a painting to the Arizona, Hospice of the Valley. Money raised at their annual art auction goes to helping and providing assistance to the terminally ill. Even if I sold her, the value of assistance to another human being, in any way, far exceeds any material gain I could get. I have been blessed with a tallent that has given my life meaning and purpose. My giving in this small way, is my way...of giving back.UPDATE: I've Been away for quite a while due to health problems...but I'm back.. Wanted to give an update on this painting...she was chosen for the live auction and sold for $4,600. The person who bought her actually has three other pieces of mine that she bought from this same auction, but different years. Wow...I can now say I have a collector!!
