Peeps, SOLD, Red Fusion, Benton Harbor, MI

 

The first time gala, Red Fusion, was created to raise money for

the Benton Harbor Red Cross.  Artists could bring a prepped canvas

to finish while being watched by attendees, or start from a blank canvas.

  

I'd wanted to participate in this event, but we were in the process of moving

to a new home. Artist Kathy Barnes stopped in the Open Door Gallery

 the night before the event and told me there was an opening for another artist.

I dug through boxes and packed the car for an art road trip!

 

 

I drew several thumbnail sketches (tiny drawings in my sketch book)

and found one that looked like fun.

 

The finished painting, Peeps, was purchased by a couple from Muskegan.
