Teacup and Grapes

Teacup and Grapes 6 x 6 acrylic on stretched canvas SOLD
Each year a gallery with which I'm associated holds a show called "Small Art, Big Cause" that benefits the Muskoka Children's Foundation. Local artists donate 6x6 pieces, and I usually contribute two little canvases. It's a wildly popular and lively event, with artwork literally snapped up as quickly as sales can be processed. Adding to the excitement, there's often a draw when a painting attracts multiple buyers. This year, we were delighted to hear that we raised $4000!

Here's a photo of our collective effort...

    1. As always, you're so kind. Thank you, Julie, and congratulations on having a second painting used on a World Bank Global Agriculture brochure. Great good taste on their part!

  2. Beautiful piece Helene and it's always wonderful to have a cause to give to. This year, like last year we have an exhibit at the Ronald McDonald House where the paintings are sold...every bit of the profits go to Ronald McDonald ...I think we raised $5000 last year and of course, the Artists walked away smiling.

    1. Good for you, Hilda! I'm sure the buyers walked away smiling, too. Thanks for the compliment on my wee teacup.
