Daisy Dear

"Daisy Dear"  (Watercolor --  6.5" x 8.5"),  C. Eastwood © 2016

It's that time of year again for the annual Daisy Miracle Benefit and once again I am donating a painting to the cause.  This one isn't very large.  Sometimes I like to change it up so that someone can still enjoy an original painting that tucks nicely into a smaller space.  I hope that it finds a good home and brings someone much joy.

Fried Egg Poppy

The first time I saw one of these, it stopped me in my tracks.  There's something delightfully fun about this huge, frilly poppy that looks like a giant fried egg.  So when it came time to make a painting for the 7th Annual Daisy Miracle Benefit (http://www.daisymiracle.com) which supports the UCSD Neonatal Intensive Care Unit -- this was it.  For the last couple of years, I've painted pictures of little girls, and I just felt like it was time to change it up a bit.  Et voila!  This is my fourth year donating art and I am so pleased to be able to contribute to this very worthwhile cause.  I hope you'll visit the website and read about Miss Daisy and the legacy she leaves behind.

Just returned home from the 6th Annual Daisy Miracle Benefit which supports the UCSD Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (http://www.daisymiracle.com/).  Daisy Miracle was an angel on loan for a very short period of time, but she continues to touch others and help them through this fund.  This is my third year donating art, and I am so pleased to be able to contribute to this very worthwhile cause.  I hope you'll visit the website and read about Miss Daisy and the legacy she leaves behind.

If this little girl looks vaguely familiar, there's a reason.  (And it means you've been reading this blog!!)  The original painting, "Daisy Dreaming," which was donated for the Daisy Miracle charity auction held earlier this month, generated a commission to do another "Daisy" painting.  So how cool is that!  Yay!

So what do you get when you mix ballerinas, daisies, and a western theme?  You get a little cowgirl in a pink tutu -- of course!  This painting has been done for a charity auction benefiting the Daisy Miracle Brennan Endowed Fund in support of the Infant Special Care Center (ISCC) at the University of California, San Diego.  Daisy Miracle was an angel on loan for a very short period of time, but she continues to touch others and help them through this fund.  This is my second year donating art, and I am so pleased to be able to contribute to this very worthwhile cause.
