"Garden Painters" oil 8 x 10




I met up with some friends to paint today, maintaining social distance.  It was a treat to paint with some friends, to have conversation and create.  This spot has a building behind it with beds of lilies.  I was most interested in the gathering of women, so painted them.  As you can see in the process photos, I was undecided about the background; leave the building in, take the building out and use a building or two from down the street, take all the structures out.  I opted for the latter.  Thank you for looking, as always.  You know I love your comments.

Fundraiser - Protest Art Limited Edition Prints

"Keep Listening" ink & watercolor
  
"Time to Listen, Time to Act" ink & watercolor


 I created these images after my daughter and I attended peaceful protests against systemic racism.  We can each listen intently, drop our defenses, and listen some more, then find our own way to make a difference, small or large. I have so much to learn and continue to work at it each day.  I want my middle-school students to live in a world where the color of their skin does not put them in danger. 


Each of these two limited-edition prints is 8 x 11 inches, signed and numbered, and shipped unframed.  100% of your purchase price will be donated to one of two funds, the DJ Henry Dream Fund, or Campaign Zero.    So, if you were considering making a donation to a worthwhile cause, here is a way to make your contribution  while receiving a limited edition signed print in return.

The prints are available on my web site, jodyregan.com.

Thank you for looking, and you know I love your comments.  Please continue to be kind.
