Thomas W. Schaller - Watercolor Artist
Even with spring making its way across the landscape here, our thoughts are never far lately from the enormous troubles facing the nation of Japan.
It is in this light – and following the lead of my friend and fellow watercolor artist Keiko Tanabe - that I would like to dedicate this edition of my newsletter to the ongoing relief efforts in Japan by offering my painting “Huntington Gardens” for auction here.
All proceeds from the winning bidder will be donated in full directly to the Japanese Red Cross.
To make a bid, contact me via email - tom@twschaller.com . Please begin at U.S. $200 and bidding will close at midnight Friday, 18 March 2011. The winner will be contacted via email shortly thereafter.
As individuals, we can often feel helpless in light of such a disaster, but by joining forces through our art , we can hope to make some small difference.
With appreciation,
Tom

ReplyDeleteNice Tom, hope you get a bazillion for it!
ReplyDeleteTom, you and Keiko have started something good that, I hope, grows with more and more well-known artists offering works for auction or just sending whatever they can to the relief effort.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea, Tom. I'm sure you'll raise a lot of money for a very worthwhile cause.
