Description
Day 346of my 366 daily art project! A lot more are on the way! Please read all about my project and charity below and in my journal.Never drawn from this angle before!
>>Created with charcoal and chalk on 2.5x3.5 ACEO gray 500 series Strathmore charcoal paper. About 2.5 hour.
See all my ACEO's in my gallery here: [link] -----------------
♥ For every day of 2012, I will be drawing one ACEO sketch card. Every single one will be for sale - ALL proceeds to be donated to charity at the end of 2012.
My charity of choice is a local foundation called Alternatives to Violence, who is currently raising money to build a safehouse. This safehouse will provide a secure shelter to men, women and children who have recently escaped physical and sexual abuse.
With the safehouse, 312 individuals every year will receive crisis intervention, counseling, safety planning, advocacy and shelter.
Together, through art, we can help make a difference.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I own/run a business from my home - I'm a full time artist, so I do commissioned portraits, my own original work, and my daily cards for charity. I also design eco friendly jewelry and manage all the details in finances and advertisement and such.
I don't really get a lot of free time - any spare time I have I end up drawing anyways! And I'm never happier than when I'm drawing.

You're welcome!..I've felt that similar sensation of missing-out and that the more I've painted and drawn, the more compelled to do it and the harder to put it down... happy creating!
