I think this is a wonderful idea. Honestly, I was hoping there would be a Christmas-themed event coming up. I'd really like to push myself to try and paint a quaint little snowy village scene. Colin - if you want to use any painting I have uploaded here on my profile, please feel free. No problem at all. I'd be more than glad to help. I'll try and paint another winter-themed painting soon just for this.

Felix H Felix, thanks for your comments. I didn't want to just download peoples work without their permission. I want to support the charity but without being a bit dishonest 8-)
Your suggestion of having a separate event, that would really help a lot of charities. Covid has really killed their income this year.
Thanks everybody for your support.

      I know I have said it before, but I will say it again. I really... really love this community. Thank you @Felix for bringing us all together. The spirit of Bob really does live on here!

      Any images you see on my thread that you'd like to use, you're welcome to them! My most recent image is one that someone here suggested may be something you'd be interested in.

      @Felix if you do turn this into an event for the charity cards I would suggest you consider allowing unlimited submissions. I myself will try to get as many done as I can either way!

        @Colin Hudson#579 Thank you Colin, your initiative will always have my cheers but, with respect, I don't want any of my past, present or future artistic work to be used for this EXCEPT for the one I will be making this weekend, a X-mas related one.

        Thank you for respecting my wish! I will keep you posted when my creation is ready.

        Regards,

        Voy Kay

        Just checking in to see if you had a specific deadline for these paintings? I have a few friends that are artists and use different mediums (watercolor and acrylic) and they seem interested. Please feel free to have a look at all of my paintings and reach out to me directly if one catches your eye. I recently (finally) got a new cellphone that happens to have an excellent camera, so what I could do is take a nice, high quality photo of that painting and send it to you. I'm also cooking up some new ideas of paintings I could create the would fit a winter or Xmas theme.

        @Voy Kay#591 You have done some wonderful work. I would never think of stealing any of you work, hence my original question. Keep on dabbing!

          Felix Hey Felix - that is really appreciated and I will put your name of the cards when I give them to Queenscourt Hospice.

              Hi Lightsnow - That is a really good idea. I promise not to use them if you say no.

                @Colin Hudson#567
                Hello there Colin,
                what a brilliant idea!
                you can happily use any of the pictures I’ve posted. I hope you raise lots for the Hospice,
                best wishes Neime
                (ps I used to visit Southport quite often, my Aunt lived near by)

                  Hi N Kav - many thanks for your generous offer. I will make full use of it. I will include a dedication and thanks for all submitting artists. My sister also lives in Southport!

                    @Colin Hudson#623 Dear Colin, my creation 'Angel with evergreen' is available for you!
                    Good luck!

                      Colin, my Angel creation will be posted today as well. I hope you like it.

                        @Colin Hudson My angel creation (painted yesterday during my paint date with Voy Kay) has been added to the event as well. I took another photo of it yesterday outside in the shade with camera in the sun, and it creates a nice kind of washed out blue effect. I tried to add it, but I will have to resize the image. Let me know if you would like the "more blue" version of it to use as well, or if you prefer just the one.

                          @Voy Kay#640 Many thanks - I appreciate the thought and the effort. Queenscourt aill be chuffed!

                          doggymommee8301 Again, my deepest appreciation for the efforts of you and the rest of the members here. The effort will makke life so much better for people in the worst part of their lives.
