When I received my e-mail from IF this morning and heard about the "Ripple" Project....my heart was so deeply touched by this initiative that I had to create for it....so I am donating these 8 paintings to help raise money for the animal victims of the Deep Water Horizon Gulf Disaster.
Every mini painting and sketch on the Ripple Blog ....is $10.00. The $10.00 is a donation to help the animal victims of the Deep Water Horizon Gulf Oil Spill. Every penny is donated. The two Non-Profits that are benefiting are The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies and The International Bird Rescue Research Center.
The Ripple blog has all the details...
"It's hard to make ripples in oil soaked water. But throw enough stones and you will!
It's not about the politics or the corporation. It's about the animals. It's about not feeling helpless in the face of an overwhelming disaster. We're illustrators. We don't lose touch with that kid inside who marvels at the creatures who swim below and fly above the sea. We draw them. We are inspired by them. We need to help them.
The Ripple blog was started on the 45th day of the Deepwater Horizon Catastrophe. The oil spill in the Gulf is now over 50 days old with no sign of stopping. We may be too small as individuals to do some grand gesture- but together our small gestures can be grand."
Two paintings SOLD already....
