jack1978 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Super cool! I'll work up an idea or two. I've been looking for something to hang over the new cube. Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 Thanks all for the awesome feedback! This is gonna be fun. Another question for all of you. I would like to donate a percentage of the proceeds to a "reefing driven" charity or non-profit. Does anyone have any suggestions? Could be reef preservation, aquaculture, etc. Link to comment
Felicia Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Coral Restoration Fund would be an amazing charity to donate to. They do awesome work growing and replanting elkhorn and staghorn corals onto the reefs in the Florida Keys. Link to comment

And right back at you. I love your paintings! Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 Felicia, thanks again! I just read up on the Coral Restoration Fund and that is such an amazing charity. That's the one! So, 25% of all $ sales from my reef paintings will go to the Coral Restoration Fund quarterly. Since I am planning on also doing trades, right now, only sales from currency will count towards the % donated. I am not sure yet how to do it if paintings are traded for livestock/dry goods.

No problem! They're my favorite coral reef non-profit, so I figured I'd recommend them. Glad you think they're a great charity! They really do very cool things for the Florida reefs. Someday when I'm back in Florida, I'd like to volunteer dive with them to replant the corals onto the reefs. Super generous of you to donate part of the sales to a charity! Love this idea Link to comment

BluCrab Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 That's some great work you got there! My daughter has been drawing and painting fish and corals for about the same time as I've been in the hobby Nov'12. She's sold a drawing at school for $50 to a teacher ,a jelly fish. Now she's got one of my coworker's giving her $100 for a seahorse drawing for her beach house. I saw a picture of this same clown and told her if she could draw it, she one up'd me and did it in water colors. I'm very blessed! I might have to set up a both at next years Reef Currents here in Houston and sell her reef /coral art...stay tuned! Link to comment

Pinner Reef Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I just found this thread. I really like your work. Those GIFs are freaking awesome. Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 And the actual two finished paintings without all the crazy GIF movement: Grumpy and the Bitch - Acrylic on cradled wood, 24" x 36" Kole Tang - Acrylic on thick gessobord, 6"x6" I just found this thread. I really like your work. Those GIFs are freaking awesome. Thanks Pinner!! I love showing the progression of a painting. The good and the bad. Never fails, about half way through I hate it and think it isn't going to come together. Then it usually (not always) does. Link to comment
