Win Win Win

Sometimes thing work out and give back like a perfectly wrapped present.

Over Christmas break the parents and families of La Paz Community School in Costa Rica banned together and fundraised to buy the Wonderland Set I painted from Beachnuts Theater to place on their new Pre-K thru 2nd grade campus.  As a group, they successfully raised the funds and the little theater company that impacted my kids lives so profoundly received  $2000 to further its bootstrap program.  La Paz received the gift of imagination on their campus. My artwork and labor of love received a second life and chance to lighten the day of all those kids in rural Costa Rica. Win. Win. Win.

The little things that happen when love is applied generously. I love it

Wonderland is Epically Entertaining

It is not an exaggeration when I say I have been painting, painting and painting for the last few months.  I have been painting inside and outside.  I have had paint all over myself, paint cans, brushes, the living room floor, on old wooden panels, concrete blocks and on canvas.  I have painted so much I can’t use my painting apron and some brushes anymore.

My latest and biggest project has been to paint the full set for the Wonderland musical production for Beach Nuts Theater.  And finally, now that the production is underway, I can share the real work with you here.

The set consists of 22 4 foot x 10 foot panels and about 6-7 weeks worth of solid outdoor work in buggy, muggy and rainy Costa Rica.  I loved every minute of it and mostly I have loved the kids reaction to them.  Those kids put so much energy and love into this epically entertaining production, they deserve every amount of joy I can give them back.

Take a look.
