Climb for Ben

Description

The commander of my Civil Air Patrol squadron had a very young grandson die of a mitochondrial disorder this past winter. I painted this picture as a promotional aid for his fundraiser "Climb for Ben" and a tribute to his grandson. Painted in ArtRage on my iPad, with a stylus.

"Climb for Ben" is an effort to raise funds for mitochondrial research - Commander Ric will actually be climbing Mt. Rainier (or at least seeing how far he can go), and so he's asking for sponsorships. If you'd like to contribute to the cause, visit the Facebook page for more information: [link]

Bright colors always somehow remind me of death.

That's rough. How sad. But kudos to you for painting such a beautiful, yet simple piece. That is one of the keys, in my opinion, in good artist's work: knowing when to keep it concise, and when to elaborate.

Here's hoping he has a successful climb. :nod:
