Lida Penkova/"Elephant Dream"

"Elephant Dream,"  linocut, hand-colored with acrylic and colored pencils
19.5 x 18.25
$350, donation 20% to Animal Aid Unlimited

Animal Aid Unlimited is

“.....quite an incredible organization, quite incredible people who are the founders and run the place with many others....close to Udaipur, Rajasthan, India. I met them a couple of years ago and was absolutely stunned by their work and kindness to rescue half-dead street animals. A family of three, originally from Seattle. They do unbelievably important work in a country where animals are treated with brutality. “
Lida
Eureka



“Animal Aid has treated 32,000 animals since 2002. Animal Aid has 35 staff and has welcomed more than 600 volunteers from 30 countries to come and share their love for animals with the street animals of India. 250-300 ever-changing animals are waiting for the love and caring support of volunteers, so please urge everyone you know to consider including volunteering in your holiday to India. Rajasthan is a magical place and Animal Aid will give purpose and meaning to your holidays beyond what you might have dreamed possible.


“Thank you for the inclusion of Animal Aid. You never know where the seeds you scatter will end up and what magnificent flowers might bloom. We appreciate so much that you remembered Animal Aid and that you've put an unusual twist to getting the word out. We will keep our fingers crossed, (and the animals their hooves and toes, even the paralyzed ones!!) that others will learn about the street animals of India through you and your art, and that among them we may find extraordinary volunteers, good donors, and, maybe most importantly, maybe we'll help nudge people a little further toward compassionate respect for all living beings. That sounds like a tall order but it's the smallest increments, (I'm convinced) that gets us all ‘there.’ Thank you for being an inspiration.”

Regina Case "Cloudline"


"Cloudline," 2011
acrylic on canvas 14.5 x 24
$2400
sold


I like that you can look at this for a bit before noticing the small consciousness looking back at you. 
"Cloudline," detail
This is my friend Ian's house in Austin, but with a view of our local Mad River out the windows. I was trying to catch how beautiful it is when the clouds start spilling over the mountains to the west. So wonderful to lie in the sun after swimming and watch the fog banked against the coastal side. Such an unbelievably wonderful place to live.


If you are local, you can see this during Arts Alive this weekend, Friday Sept 2, 6-9:00 and Saturday Sept 3, 6-9:00 at the C Street Hall Gallery, 208 C Street, Eureka. 498-0059 or 442-1419. I'll post the other people showing as soon as I know...

Susan Sabo

"Pelei's Eyes"
I had the honor of photographing Pelei twice. Once, with the 3 sisters who adopted and loved her with all their heart. The second time, right before Pelei's life ended after a short and painful fight with cancer. 

Pelei was definitely one of my favorite subjects to photograph. During our first session, she was mesmerized by the camera, the lights, the popping of the lights, and the smooth surface that she couldn't seem to get a foothold on :) 

Just by having her sit still I was able to move around Pelei and capture parts of her that I think show the exquisite beauty of a dog. I'll never forget her, and I'm so so glad I was able to give her girls some pictures to remember her by. 

These prints are 6x9, printed on either 8x10 or 8.5x11 Ilford paper. All prints are titled and signed. I used to print with a lab, but I'm going back to making my own prints. It's more homemade, and it's more personal :) 

"Pelei's Lips"
Prints can be purchased through Susan's Etsy shop, they are $15, a portion benefits the Humane Society and a number of other rescue organizations-read more

Letter to Panthera


Regina Case "Water Palace 2," 1989 detail, sold
In 1988 when I got my first gallery representation in San Francisco, I began a series of tiger paintings. My partner, John, brought me a book of Bengal tigers photographed at Ranthambore Tiger Reserve in India, a wild, amazing landscape with ruins of palaces on the water. The book made me aware of the decline of tigers in the wild. I just couldn't imagine a world without tigers. As a self-employed artist, I've never had much to give, but I couldn't stop thinking about it. 




Kathrin Burleson, sold
In April of this year, with Rachel Schlueter of the C Street Hall Gallery in Eureka, we put on an auction to benefit animal rescue in Japan after the earthquake. (I only have a few images left on my computer, but I'll list others with website links at the right.)
It was an unbelievably wonderful experience to see how much both artists and collectors wanted to help. We were able to raise $6000 to donate to Animal Refuge Kansai and Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue and Support. I was unprepared for how good it felt to be able to donate so much money. 






Amy Granfield, sold
I began to think I could make a way to help the tigers. 
With this site, an Etsy shop and a section of the C Street Gallery devoted to Art Helps the Planet we are beginning to gather awareness and donations for panthera.org and Sequoia Humane Society.






Libby George, sold, intaglio, more available
In April of 2012 the C Street Hall Gallery is organizing a show to benefit Panthera. Panthera and Save the Tiger Fund have now joined forces to protect tigers in the wild. Tigers can be helped. I want to be part of it.

Two views of "Flying Calypso"
cast concrete 
13x18x8
$450
50% donation to  Sequoia Humane Society


Life could have crawled out of the dark muck and evolved into the many different forms of life now around us. Or perhaps it was brought down from space in the suitcase of a merchant traveling between different worlds. The atoms that make up everything in the universe came from the surrounding stars that blew away fragments and dust that swirled into planet forming eddies. The wonderful thing is that everything in our existence, from rocks to plants are made up of the same type of atoms, they are just arranged in different ways. I like this view of the universe. It is what I think about while I am working on art.

I carved an image of our dog, Calypso, in a piece of tan oak after she passed away. She was a great friend and life voyager. This is a solid concrete sculpture poured from a cast made from that carving. "Flying Calypso," Calypso traveling to a new life, into a new dimension or perhaps being reborn as a pure photon stream.
