Good number. 5, I love 5
  

On November 7th, I will be donating Blue & Green Flowers, both #1, to the Night of Hope Gala for Snohomish County. Money rised will benefit people who can’t afford to get the cancer screenings they need. As far as I know, I will be featured in the live auction, which is rather exciting. Crossing my fingers they realize a nice sum of money to help people in need.

Come see amazing artists and do some Christmas shopping!

I’ve been volunteering at the Seattle Humane Society for a little over 8 years now. It’s one of my favorite things I do. I love giving back to the community, I love helping animals, this is a great organization!! I have been able to recruit my mother and good friend Matt and together we pack a combined 470# of dog and cat food, every month, that is distributed to senior centers around the Puget Sound area! The combined total that the volunteers pack is a staggering 18,000# a month for the community. This assists low income seniors with supplementation so food isn’t such a big worry, and allows companion animals to remain in loving homes! Here is a picture of me packing away! I’m honored to be a part of this wonderful organization! If anyone has interests in volunteering contact me or Seattlehumane.org!
 

   
 Donated a painting for auction tonight. The Seattle Hope Gala black tie event to benefit cancer research. It’s being held at The Fremont Studios, it looks really nice in there! I hope they raise lots of money tonight. Now to create #5!

Here it is. The last of the three that I painted, Purple Flowers #3. It can be seen at Gethsemane Lutheran in downtown Seattle. Very excited to be done. Now to break out the easel and paint vertically!!!  

Painted yesterday, excited to see it, but as with all my flower paintings I say away from them for three days. It needs to dry and not have me obsessing over it. It’s easy to do….pictures to come in a couple of days!
