In September 2011 Mary and I attended a fund raising event to support Rainbow Village, Duluth, GA, and I was asked to shoot a few photographs. http://rainbowvillage.org/ This organization provides transitional housing for homeless families with children. Many local businesses provided items for bid in silent and live auctions.
One vendor I got to know was Kathy Fincher, a Duluth artist nationally known for depicting children, landscapes and still life in a soft painting style with strong storytelling elements. http://www.kafincher.com/ She is described as an inspirational artist who creates “a unique pastel painting style of romantic realism." Ms. Fincher frequently uses dry pastels on paper and they are usually called paintings. http://www.paintmaking.com/grinding_pastels.htm One of her most popular creations is titled “Here's the Church”.
