Here are some of my favorites...beginning at the top: Donated papayas for Kpandu orphanage; Orphanage shelves getting bare; Kitchen in Have; street sellers in Morocco; Morocco market; lunchtime at Kpandu daycare; Morocco grain seller; spices in Casablanca; Casablanca market; Tomatoes in Paris; French Cheese; Casablanca onions
I am thinking of a series of market and food paintings that could be displayed together...great for kitchen art. Let me know YOUR favorites.

Art by Diane adolph - Stay tuned!

I laughed to read your post/comment Diane. I told someone yesterday that I have picked out a series of market photos (one in Casablanca, one in Ghana, one in Kenya, and one in Calcutta to commission you to paint. I would like to buy the painting, find someone to create prints for cheap (as donation), AND SELL THE PRINTS...WITH ALL THE MONEY GOING TO THE VARIOUS PROJECTS WE HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR...

what do you think? Stay tuned and i will post the photos i really like and maybe you can choose 4 you would like to paint and give me a quote...

people reading this blog can then look at the ones we choose, email the pics around to other people, and if anyone wants to buy one they can let me know....

For those who do not know, Diane is a very accomplished and talented artist (Kelvin and I both own much of her art) in Victoria BC.

After walking around Calcutta being stared at constantly, and feeling like people think I am wearing pajamas...I decided to go sari shopping and dress like the romans...er Indians.

This is a 2 lane road

PICTURE DAY!! - Africa up close and personal

Corrie fell in love with the trees in Africa...much like her obsession with taking pictures of lampposts in Europe, we have hundreds of photos of trees in Africa!
