"May Roses In December" by Brian K. Raynor

"May Roses In December" is acrylic/mixed media on stretched 12 x 12 canvas. It is another that I painted in conjunction with Project Art Aid for the American Cancer Society fundraiser coming up June 17, 2011 at the Wachovia Atrium (Atrium Uptown) in Charlotte, NC.

"God gave us memories that we might have roses in December" Sir James Matthew Barrie

The search for a cure for Breast Cancer is costly but how much more are the mothers, sisters, daughters, friends in our lives worth to us? Immeasurable. Join us on June 17th to raise money, raise awareness, raise spirits, raise survival to 100%.

"So Many Roses" by Brian K Raynor

I painted "So Many Roses" in 2009. We often wait to send ROSES or flowers when someone has died. How often do we send them to the LIVING? We only have SO MANY opportunities to send so many ROSES to let so many people know that they are special to us. I donated "So Many Roses" to help raise money for charitywater.org. So many people will die or become sick from drinking unclean water unless so many people who have so much compassion and abundance give,... so MUCH.


"SO MANY ROSES" by Brian K Raynor

on a lighter note,....
A nearsighted guy, looking at several of my paintings asked me if someone commissioned me to paint Raggedy Ann for a kids room. I was dumbfounded and then a bit disconcerted when I realized he was referring to this painting. Being nearsighted myself, I laughed later that night when I looked at it without my contact lenses and I could see how he could possibly see,... Raggedy Ann.
