Art despite pain

In the news

One of my watercolour paintings will be included in a new fundraising auction and exhibition, opening tomorrow, to benefit youth art outreach and other art education initiatives.
This will be my first participation in an actual gallery show in the United States. It will raise funds for an organization of which I've been a member since I began learning to paint two years ago.
Based in California, the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association (LPAPA) has been part of my artistic journey through their virtual plein-air painting webinars and workshops.
Their 2023 "LPAPA Strong - Painted Postcards" event will begin with a virtual or online auction, followed by a gallery exhibition.
All artworks are 5 x 7", the size of a standard postcard, in a wide range of styles and subjects.
The bidding on each "painted postcard" will begin at $50 USD, increasing in increments of $10 USD.
This is a fantastic opportunity to buy an original painting, and I plan to bid on a few myself!
The online auction will open tomorrow, January 30th at 1300 ET (1000 PT) and close on Thursday February 2nd at 2300 ET (2000 PT):

LPAPA Strong 2033 Painted Postcards Auction


Keep an eye out for my 5 x 7" watercolour "Sunrise silos", painted on a Multimedia Artboard.
After the online auction, an exhibition of these painted postcards will open at the LPAPA Gallery in Laguna Beach, California from February 2 through 27, 2023:
414 North Coast Highway
Laguna Beach, California 92651

Hope to see you online at the auction, as I won't be in California for the gallery show!
