Tangible Gifts Through Blogs
Back in January Jan Cartier had a birthday drawing offering to paint a dessert of the winner’s choice. I came across her painting a day blog in one of my art feeds and was drawn especially to her chaos paintings from New Orleans. What luck that the day I first came across her site she was offering this prize, because I tossed my name in the hat and won!
In an effort to pay it forward, the April issue of MetaPaint’s newsletter offered tickets to Juneau Jazz & Classics in a similar raffle.
Right around my birthday she posted the finished painting of my wedding cake for Naughty Friday. I’m excited to get the original in the mail and see the detail.
She also placed one of her Chaos paintings, Water Lily Chaos, up on eBay for Zoo-To-Do. The entire purchase price goes to restore the New Orleans zoo Audubon’s bird house.
Her site is an excellent example of connecting people, causes, and art through blogging.
