A fundraising project conceived by artist Lisa Riordon to benefit the children of Haiti after the devastating earthquake in 2010. Lisa painted daily for 40 days with the help of local elementary school students in Newburyport, MA. The project and resulting show came together quickly and dozens of volunteers made it a huge success. All originals sold and 100% of the proceeds were donated to Save the Children. Prints are always available - and we thank you for your support!

Day 20
All the paintings I've done so far are lined up across my dining room wall behind me as I paint. It's hard to believe I'm 3 weeks into it. This project really is a journey, and as much for me as anyone else.
A few days ago a friend shared some photos he'd taken at the base of the Statue of Liberty. Several are on his website dedicated to a grass roots effort to keep Lady Liberty's torch lit eternally as a symbolic beacon of hope. I decided to paint two of these photos for this fundraising series one small, and one on a grand scale (30"x30"). Please contact me if you are interested in a print of this painting, "Liberty's Torch". To find out more about the proposal to keep the Torch lit 24/7, please visit: http://libertytorch.org
Today's piece is called "Quiet Moment" with help from Sarah C. (12).
