Artists helping Artists

The Mary Lou Zeek Gallery, in Salem Oregon has a great idea!
She bought a vintage cigarette machine and has repurposed it so it can dispense art.
You buy a $10 token and put in the machine, pull the lever and get a piece of hand made art.   The mystery is in who's art you will get!
All for a good cause!
ALL the money goes into her Artists Helping Artists fund for artists who need help.
Fabulous!

Here is my "carton" of art to paint for the machine.

Orange.   
Oh how I love Orange.

I could not leave the backside blank!

And those sides needed stripes!

Had to sign them!

Even though I painted them as a whole, I tried to get each one to have enought visual interest as an individual piece of art.

Painting these was a little challenging - as there are all those sides on each little block, and they are so SO much smaller than my usual work.  


It is fun to see them as individual little pieces of art.

 I would do it again for sure!
