I am a visual artist living in Stouffville Ontario Canada. My work is in watercolour, mixed media and Sumi-e [Japanese ink painting] I just happened across this project and think it is a fantastic idea.  My family spent many wonderful days on gulf coast beaches and I wanted to make a contribution.

These are two Ensō  paintings - Japanese meaning circle. It symbolizes enlightenment, strength, elegance, the Universe, and the void. It also symbolizes an "expression of the moment". All things we need to deal with this crisis.  It  is usually painted in one movement  and there is no possibility of modification. They are original paintings 2.5 in by 3.5  ATC size in acrylic paint on rice paper mounted on acid free card stock with my chop or seal.

A small contribution to a very large problem.

875. Brave Lucie

876. Baby Turtle

Brave Lucie is a double sided and laminated card by Ginger Nielson.

Her "Baby Turtle" piece is a digital watercolor. Two sides, one enlargement on the back, and laminated.  Both sides are shown here but the card is created back to back.

It was so impressed to see the baby turtle rescue and the care given to each tiny creature.  If this image will help them back into the clean ocean, I am happy to participate.

Bonnie Jean Woolger Decatur,Ga.

Wooden pen maker, printmaker, book maker, I grew up on the beach in south Florida and live in fear and horror of the oil spill. When I was 11 a sea turtle laid her eggs in our garden on the wrong side of A1A and so when they hatched I filled my pockets and my shirt and made many trips across the road to get the baby turtles on their way to the ocean before they could be hit by cars. I can’t save them from this.

My name is Penny Noble. I am a freelance Artist and I live in Manhattan Beach Ca.

I want to thank Kelly again for all her hard work and for giving me a chance to contribute to helping clean up the horrible oil spill. My 11 year old Granddaughter was moved to paint a Dolphin picture to help too. She was very happy when it was sold. You can see some of my work at http://pennynoble.blogspot.com/

The 5.25 x 5.25”painting is acrylic on watercolor paper, matted to 10 x 10”.
