Posted @withregram • @ellenrolli A video snippet of the start of a small work on canvas. This painting will be donated to an online art auction fundraiser for a Community Grief Support organization. It always feels good when Art can “pay it forward” in some way. It was suggested that the donated works have a “memorial” theme, so the heart symbol seemed appropriate.
“Garden of Hearts”, 6x6 Acrylic/Mixed Media on canvas.

It wouldn't be possible for Community Grief Support to continue without the love and support from our following. We want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has donated over the years and kept us going. CGS would not be possible without you!
We recently started our text to give campaign which makes donating even easier! Just send a "FINDHOPE" text to 41411 and it will prompt you through. If you have any questions about our services or donating, feel free to reach out!
And again, THANK YOU. 💙
