This years painting for the Primary Children's Hospital!

As some of you know every year in the Spring time I get together with the fantastic artists at UVU to create some artwork specifically to donate to the Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah. Every day these brave boys and girls face challenges that we can only imagine and these noble doctors, nurses and the rest of the hospital staff do all in their power to help them.

This was my contribution for this years donation.... the Easter Bunny himself. My thoughts for this painting were that I wanted to show him painting an egg, carefully paying attention to every detail and admiring his handy work. I chose this concept to mimic the tender care that this amazing hospital gives to these children on a daily basis.

I know that my contribution is small in comparison but, if I can use my artistic talents to bring a smile to just one of these amazing children in a time of difficulty it makes all the time and effort it takes to create one of these images worth it! I can t wait to do it again!

Primary Children's Hospital Easter Painting

Every so often I'm am able to participate in something special. A few weeks ago the Illustration Club at UVU was looking for a service project. We thought it would be nice to call the Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City. They were super enthusiastic and asked if we would be willing to provide some artwork to decorate the halls and bring a little cheer to these amazing kids to which we replied YES!

For my contribution I thought it would be fun to capture the Easter Bunny admiring his handy work. I'm positive that  he works tirelessly to carefully inspect each egg after it is painted to make sure that it is absolutely perfect for the children to find on Easter morning.

Today we dropped off the prints at the hospital and the staff seemed super stoked to receive them! It's always rewarding to be able to use the skills I've developed to bring a little happiness to someone else.
