Description Day 39 of 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.

I know I love playing with color and going bold - but there is absolutely nothing like relaxing into my favorite medium.

Special thanks to ~Fennyy for the beautiful photograph: [link]

>>Created with charcoal and highlighted with chalk and white acrylic paint on 2.5x3.5 ACEO bristol vellum card. About 3.5 hours.

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.

This is very impressive, the emotion in it really pierces the soul.
I don't know if the heart in the lighting in the eye was intentional but it adds a unique feel to the piece. Well done.

secrets-of-the-pen In reply to OokamiAniyou [2012-02-09 05:15:46 +0000 UTC]
