Today I’m joining Beverly of How Sweet the Sound for Pink Saturday after taking an extended break. Thank you Beverly for hosting-you have stuck with this and I know it has to be a lot of work!
This art work in the post was created by a local artist, Julie Lee, to be auctioned off to benefit breast cancer patients in our hometown.
Julie is an up and coming artist with so much talent! She did this work to illustrate how breast cancer touches women from all walks of life regardless of age, race, or income. The pink blanket wrapped around the women unites them in their battle against breast cancer.
It is hard to get a good picture of art –so I made two-one with the flash and one without so that you can see the details.
The concert on Oct 31 was dedicated to breast cancer patients and the painting was auctioned during a pre concert event. I can’t think of a better cause for October!
I have visited Julie’s studio a time or two, and one of my friends and I are considering taking art lessons from her after the first of the year. Maybe then I can do a post and show more of her talent.
Thanks for stopping by!

Oh Diane...
What a truly wonderful benefit. I love the painting, and I am sure that it brought in a very nice donation for the cause. I love the way the pink blanket was wrapped around all of the patients, like Jesus was wrapped in a blanket and laid in the manger. I so love this. Thank you for sharing with us on this Pink Saturday. Country hugs...Sherry
