summertime

 I am preparing to do one last show before  the summer season.  This will be the fourth year that I have participated in "art on the lake" benefitting Children's Harbor. The artists are set up close to the shores of Lake Martin at Children's Harbor and 20% of our proceeds goes to benefit the programs.  They have a wonderful camp facility that helps families that have children with serious illnesses. The show is Saturday and Sunday of Memorial Day weekend.
They chose my artwork for the t shirts this year.  The same artist, Lila Graves, has been doing the artwork for years and needed a break so they opened it up to artists.  The shirts have been a huge seller for them because of Lila's creative and whimsical work.They remembered a painting I had done before and asked me if I could translate it into a t shirt design.  This was my brother in law when he was a young pup.  I had to repaint and simplify the original painting.sold
"summertime" is painted on a 10 x 20 x 1 1/2" canvas.
