Fine Art Piece for sale!

"Sunday Morning"

My name is S. LaDon Ware, and I am a multimedia folk artist out of Savannah, GA.

 The painting is entitled “Sunday Morning” It depicts the moment before CHRIST reveals himself to a distraught Mary Magdalene, after HE has risen from the dead. It is a 5 feet x 2 ½ feet multimedia piece in what I call the “Neo-Byzantine Icon” writing style.* With the inclusion of the various media elements (some of which extend up to an inch from the painting’s surface), a Shadowbox style frame will be required.

The multimedia elements used are: acrylic paint, watercolor markers, crayon, metallic paint, puff paint, colored pencils, found Styrofoam, casting compound, linen, fabric, sand, paper clay, craft fur, twine, colored/textured paper, silk/plastic leaves and vines, and bamboo. The project is near completion. The amount we are seeking for the shadowbox frame is $850.00 (this is mostly surrounding the cost of the UV coated acrylic "glass" necessary for the size, and the longevity of the paint, fabric,  and various other elements on the painting). With these factors, the frame is required in order to preserve and protect the piece.

The motivation behind the production of this work is a desire to help others with very limited resources. The hope is to gift any and all proceeds from the general sale of this work to assist The Manning’s in their efforts to adopt a baby girl from China. The price we are shooting to raise for the piece is $10,000.00. Our initial asking price will be $5,500.00 unframed and $6,500.00 framed, of course we pray to do much better than that for Matthew and Bethany. As a folk artist with limited income, the decision was made to donate my abilities and time as a means to support their noble goal.  Being directed spiritually on how and what to do with each media element, we realize it was only through Inspiration that this project was completed (my humble abilities falling far short of the mark to produce the piece's eventual outcome). So, in that spirit, we intend to bless them with the sale of this piece as I was blessed in delivering it. 

We thank you in advance for your support, help, prayers, and well wishes in bringing this project to fruition.

“The goal of Both Hands is to make the financial mountain (of adopting a child) into a penny mole hill.”

J.T. Olson

Friends Helping Friends

The idea for Both Hands came as the result of a simple letter to a friend asking if he’d sponsor me while I golfed. The funds would go to a wonderful ministry for women in crisis pregnancies. My friend sent my letter back with a handwritten message saying that he’d gladly support my efforts if I was working on a widow’s house instead of playing golf.

For five years that letter stuck with me, until another friend, who was adopting four children from Moldova, expressed his need to raise funds to pay for it. That’s when the idea for Both Hands grew legs. We recruited other friends, found a widow’s house in need of repairs, got local businesses to donate supplies and food, and hundreds of people sent in checks to sponsor the workers that day. It was a day I will never forget! We raised enough money to put a dent in my friend’s adoption expenses, and totally transformed Miss Lucille’s house: Success story numbers one and two!
