While it is always nice to sell a painting, I enjoy donating my art to worthy causes if they can raise some money for the organization at a fundraiser. Such was the case last night. We attended the Heart Walk Foundation auction to aid the Q'ero Indians of Peru. The foundation has no paid employees and are not affiliated with any religious organization. They truly work from the heart and their only mission is to aid this dieing culture by providing services to help them survive. I was proud to offer "Gila on Cactus" for their auction. My hope is that the proceeds from the sale of this pastel will further the Heart Walk Foundation's mission.

On another note I will be teaching another class at Canvas a la Carte. We will paint Rufus the Rangy Rooster. Join us at Blue Raven on March 17th for lots of fun.
