Rally for the Cure

Pecan Lake, Pastel, 12x16

Landscapes are not easy for me. So much green, lots of flat land that must recede to be believable on paper. But I wanted to do a golf course painting for a special reason: an auction donation.

The ladies at my golf club have supported the Susan G. Komen breast cancer awareness campaign for four years by hosting a golf tournament.

Pecan Lake was a silent auction work, and only a small contribution. But, this year we raised $35,000 with our Rally for the Cure, from entry fees, donations, sponsors, and the auction. Total for the four years of the tournament: $125,000.

This pastel painting inspired me to paint a series from Pecan Grove Plantation Country Club. The titles were fun to create. Hope you'll take a look. Just a click will get you there.
