"I have had the situation in Japan on my mind, as I am sure many others have. In talking about the devastation with others, it became painfully obvious that a lot of people really want to help but they have no inclination of how or to whom they should direct their contributions. So, with that being said, I set out to create this original painting, using water color and one shot. As clearly depicted in this print, the red circle of Japan’s flag, (which is historically symbolic
of the sun; warmth, and brightness) is being overtaken by the cracks from the outer
edge of the print, (representative of the 9.0 earthquake that triggered the devastating tsunami.) With the final touch being the single tear falling from the heart of a country as a silent cry for help.
The goal in creating this painting was to put together a striking image that would
help keep the plight in Japan at the forefront of our minds, while also creating an avenue for people to donate to help Japan. With the help of C & C Quality Printing, Inc., I will be offering high quality, signed and numbered, 15” x 20”, limited edition prints. These prints are available for a minimum donation of $20 and will ship within 2 weeks of donations being placed.
ALL proceeds will be going to a program
called “Socks for Japan”, and the Japanese Red Cross Society.
