What do you think of the yellow background? I'm 50/50 on it right now.
It's been a great week in terms of donations. I have pledged to match every sale between 8/1 and 8/15 and give my half to Hope for Shade. So far I've sent them $130. I received payment for my portrait of Dorothy Day and sold my first Charity Painting: Frederick Douglass. Did you know that this project has raised over $1100 since April 28th? It gives me chills. I'm so excited about the response I'm getting.
This week Charity Paintings was featured on The Greater Goods Blog. I love this blog and feel honored to be included. If you haven't already, check it out.
I'm thinking about approaching a gallery to see if I could setup a show. The big question is, would they be willing to participate considering the nature of my project. There aren't any profits to share when you donate all the money to charity. Is there a place you frequent that you think would be a suitable host for a Charity Paintings show? Let me know.
Thanks for following my project and for your support.
Ryan
