Clawing at the Sky
6” x 6” / oil on panel / framed
Every evening, as I make dinner in my kitchen I watch out the back window as the day turns to night. The cool blues of the night create a backdrop for the drama of tangled branches and trees in our backyard. I recorded this moment in my sketchbook and then later painted from the sketch in my studio from memory.
I am happy to be offering these paintings as part of a fundraiser, to raise money to donate to a student in need. I hope to be A Light in the Darkness for someone who is trying to make their lives and the world a better place by gaining an education. I believe that offering opportunities for education can have a great impact and bring light into the world. So, I am donating 20% of all sales from this collection to a student in need. In 2024 I was able to pay the full tuition for a young woman, a Haitian refugee, so she could earn her CNA. Let’s see if we can do even better this year!
