I started this portrait of the INCREDIBLE Rebecca Rawlinson for my June 23rd art event: It was then worked on by attendees the night of the event: We then auctioned it off with proceeds going to the development of my youth program, under the premise that I would later finish it- which I did tonight!

This old piece, Church and Wheatfield (acrylic on canvas), proudly belongs in the Where Are They Now category of my catalogue. Perhaps it will turn up when I empty the vault for the big art event/garage sale! I’ll keep you posted!
