I’m pretty confident that everybody reading this blog has performed numerous random acts of kindness. Doesn’t it feel wonderful to either give or receive this kind of gesture? If there’s a silver lining with this Coronavirus pandemic, I’m sure it will be the realization that we are all connected and acts of kindness will make the difference.
 

What we are seeing as a result of being isolated in order to stem the spread of Covid 19, are people viewing and listening to the work of artists, musicians, actors, painters, dancers or creators of any type. We are also beginning to realize how important many members of our society are, who do not normally get much attention... the truck drivers and delivery people, medical staff, cleaning staff at all levels of business, garbage and recylcing collectors, grocery store workers and many others whose presence we often take for granted.

 

We are all connected, nobody is immune from the effects.

 

By simply holding the door open, or going out of our way for someone we barely know, we send out a wave of energy into the world. On an individual basis, we all have the power to create change, but the true magic happens when that revolution expands to touch hundreds, thousands or millions of lives.

 

I have my art to offer. This is how I can connect and inspire you to accept and generate kindness in your own life. Two very kind friends and Collectors have recently passed away, and it is with these two gentlemen in mind, I am reaching out with my own journey to spread kindness.

 

Beginning Friday April 3rd, I will be gifting original artwork in my “Pay it Forward Fridays” campaign on Instagram and Facebook. My wish is that my ‘tribe’ will opt to identify people they know who merit a random act of kindness in the form of a small painting or item of custom clothing!  Every Friday in April I will be offering numerous works of art as Gift aways for those nominated.  Please join in the fun....

 

I am also reaching out to you, my loyal fans and Collectors to offer my artwork to any charitable organizations that you may be personally involved with. Many of these organizations are struggling at the moment, and any funds we can raise via sales or auctions or networking of that artwork, will benefit their cause. Please contact me to discuss ANY ideas you might have - I am willing to consider all kinds of creative options!

 

If you are not Facebook or Instagram users, you can see the artwork up for "gifting" on the website at:Random Acts of Kindness

Wishing you all kindness and good health.
