Tree of Life and Hope

Tree of Life and Hope

Amanda and I were thinking of some creative ways to raise funds for adoption.  One of those ideas was to sell some of my paintings.  (Did you know that one of my hobbies is painting?)  As I thought about how to creatively express hope and life, I came up with the above painting.  The tree represents life and hope in a barren landscape, much like adoption is for a child.  One of these paintings is hanging in what will be the baby's room.  It's a great reminder for us of what this process means.

The painting is 16 inches x 20 inches on white canvas using acrylic paint.  The words "life" or "hope" are wooden letters painted black and appear in the bottom right corner.  It would look nice in a black frame and would make a great gift for a friend or relative.  We will ship anywhere in the world.  Our suggested donation is $200 -- it's more about the adoption than the painting.

If you would like to support our adoption and receive one of these paintings, please contact us by email (lifeandhope4betrons@gmail.com) or by phone (605-352-1774).  You can also make a donation through PayPal.  Just click the "donate" button to the right and it will take you to our secure account.

Any gift amount will help us a lot with our adoption expenses.  Thank you, thank you!
