Heart's Cry Ministries by Pastel Society Alaska

Imagine turning a beautiful landscape painting into a bowl of beans, or a painting of a hummingbird into medical or school supplies. Alaskan pastel artists have created artwork to raise funds to help special needs orphans in Panama.

All forty paintings have been made into beautiful Greeting Cards, which can be purchased for $25.00 in two ways: as a random pack of five cards, OR, five identical cards of a painting of your choice! Inspirational and gorgeous cards that brighten your life and the lives of the orphans! It's a win-win. Look through all items, see the beauty of each painting, buy some lovely cards, and consider making a bid on paintings!

Thirty-eight fine art pastel paintings are double matted with a 3-inch white mat. The featured painting by Eminent Pastelist Lyn Diefenbach “Rapt In Red” comes framed, and one painting, "Hopper," is oil on canvas. The listed sizes are the painting sizes before the mat was added.

Most of the reference photo material came from Kenneth R Myers Panamanian photographs. The proceeds from the auction will go directly to Heart's Cry Ministry. You can learn more about the ministry at www.HeartsCryChildren.com

Heart's Cry is a non-profit organization providing foster care and adoption services for special needs children in Panama.
