Color at The Coeur d'Alene -- The Art of Edward W. Gilmore

Artist Edward W. Gilmore says "'. . . a blank canvas is a life not lived.' His work has layers, stories, and reflections with vast colors and textures in which he leaves a part of him within every canvas."

Artist Edward W. Gilmore wants to help kids and families through his art. His work (such as the paintings above) will be featured this weekend at The Coeur d'Alene in an event called "Edward W. Gilmore's "The Art of Color: A Show Benefitting the Child and Family Guidance Center."

I'm featuring information on Gilmore's show in this morning's posting because he plans to donate a portion of the funds derived from the show to the Child and Family Guidance Center in Tacoma, Washington.

My niece Maureen works as a counselor for the center (http://www.cfgcpc.org/)
Maureen tells me her colleagues are very excited that he has chosen their facility to benefit from his generosity and talent.

The link above takes you to more information about the center and the art show, and the following link (http://edwardwgilmore.com/index.html) takes you to more information about Edward W. Gilmore and his work. Seems like after this winter, a little color can't hurt, and Gilmore supplies plenty of it in his spontaneously produced abstract paintings and sculptures.

So check it out, and pass the word. If you can't make it to the show, I'm sure the Child and Family Guidance Center would be happy to help guide you through other avenues of donating to their cause.
