Auction for Relief Efforts in Japan
13 March 2011
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

recent blogs and interviews
Just wanted to mention two blogs that should be of interest to painters in watercolor everywhere - well worth bookmarking:
Konstantin Sterkhov : Konstantin was kind enough to interview me recently for his fascinating blog on practitioners of watercolor. And although I'm very happy to be featured, the vast range of artists he features is extremely impressive.
http://sterkhovart.blogspot.com/
Fernando Pena: This blog is really indispensable reading for anyone at all interested in watercolor arts. My friend and colleague Fernando applies his considerable creative energies to featuring an extremely wide range of artists - past and present - artists' materials, and techniques.

my way home
"my way home"
thomas w. schaller
24X18 inches
18 february 2011______________________________________________________
there are times when we find ourselves searching for our place in the world - for a place we can call "home". this can be a physical location; or sometimes, just a state of heart or of mind.
and as is often the case, the real story is told not so much in where we happen to wind up - but in how we struggled to get there.
i wish you all a safe and pleasant journey.

it would be impossible to choose a favorite spot in italy,
but this piazza - one of the great outdoor living rooms
in all of europe - is very near the top of the list.
