In the mad rush to get things ready for Art Now for Autism’s October 1st opening, I thought we could use a pretty view to look at… Evening Rush by Helen Percy Lystra. Helen is one of the many artists participating whose family has been effected by autism. You can see more of her work at www.helenpercylystra.com.

Zen Rocks
Ren Adams
traditional Chinese brush painting
17 1/2 x 16 inches

Ren Adams works with traditional Chinese brush painting. The above piece is called Zen Rocks. I love what Ren wrote about donating art to Art Now for Autism:

When we focus on joint projects, humans can really make a difference. Rather than trying to be all things at all levels of development, though, it’s most helpful for volunteers to work within their specialties. Many artists are eager to help encourage positive change and the transmission of knowledge, and donating artwork is one of the best things we can do. It’s what we know, it gives us a hands-on angle, and it can bring enjoyment to those receiving the art on the other end. Every time they view a painting or piece donated for awareness, they can’t help but remember the cause.

Thank you to Ren and to the other artists participating this year! We truly appreciate your support!
