My fiance surprised me with a weekend trip to Paris for my birthday this year (that sounds like a line out of a romantic movie). We stayed across the street from the Louvre. He was even patient enough to sit with me while I, as he called it, “sketched this painter painting a painting of a painting.”

Needless to say, it was a great birthday.

Painting with a Cause

8″x10″ framed oil on board, $350 (plus shipping via standard mail outside of the UK)
$35 donated to the Art Fund

I was at the Courtauld Gallery today to see “Cezanne’s Card Players” exhibition and visit one of my favorite pieces in the gallery’s permanent collection. I thought it was fitting to make the donation from the sale of this painting to the ArtFund, a registered UK charity and donor to the Courtauld. They,

“campaign, fundraise and give money to museums and galleries to buy and show art, and promote its enjoyment through our events and membership scheme.”

I hope to get involved with the ArtFund this year. What a perfect combination of my love for the visual arts and nonprofits!
