@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.

                        @Colin Hudson#567 Hi Colin sounds like a great idea. I have one, a winter cabin scene that you’re very welcome to use if it is good enough. Good luck with the cards.

                          Curleybap Many thanks for your kind offer, It is very much appreciated and will help a lot of people to, not get better, but to live better whilst they can.

                              I would like to thank all the very kind and considerate artists from this community (family) who have donated some of their work to support the Queenscourt Hospice in Southport in the UK.

                              The hospice are delighted that people from all over the world have decided to help them care for terminally ill people in their darkest days. Without being political, it is almost completely self-funded and do not charge their patients for the care.

                              I have generated some of the Christmas cards and have made them both Merry Christmas and Season's Greetings for those people who do not observe Christmas but have their own celebrations such as Diwali and Hanukkah.

                              Please keep you contributions coming in as Queenscourt can always use them in future years. Your work does not have to be purely for Christmas as they can keep them on their site all year to allow people to enjoy them and contribute to their services.

                              Thanks again.

                              Colin

                                Hi N Kav, DOGGYMOMMEE8301, lightsnow, jeermiah11719, Von Kay, Bindu chomatti - writing the post above I suddenly realised that Queenscourt may like to use the pictures all year round as fundraisers, rather than just at Christmas.

                                Is it acceptable to you all for them to do that? I will abide by whatever you want me to do and explain it to Queenscourt. You will be able to verify yourselves by looking at their website so there can be no underhandedness.

                                Cheers - Colin

                                  @Colin Hudson#655 Colin, the hospice is welcome to anything I have already posted, for any time of the year. I am going to also try to get a few more Christmas themed ones done for you in the coming weeks. For any future posted photos, please just clear it with me before using it.

                                  Of course I will. I will not betray the trust you put ine me. Queenscourt will be very grateful for your support, as will I. Many thanks.

                                    Thanks Colin! And I am glad we have generated excitement for the hospice. It is a wonderful thing they do, helping folks, and their loved ones left behind when end of life comes.

                                    @Colin Hudson#658 I finally got the “blue” version of my Angel uploaded. Feel free to use whichever version (or both) you prefer for your Christmas cards. It’s the same painting. The only difference on the additional photo is the canvas was in the shade and the camera was in the sun. It’s a second photo on my original upload.

                                    Hi Colin - just to let you know please feel free to use anything I've uploaded here. I have a number of originals that I have worked on if that would be more appropriate instead than a Bob Ross recreation. Whatever you need, it's all good with me!

                                      lightsnow That is really great news and I am very grateful to you. I think I left it a bit late for this year's Christmas cards but they will be very good for next year. I can give them to Queenscourt, with the artist's name imprinted, and they can have revenue all year round. They will not make a fortune but everything will help them. Again, thank you.

                                      Colin
