We'll be dealing with the effects of this oil disaster for a long time to come. Until the flow of oil has stopped it is impossible to assess the damage it will be causing, but it is obvious that it will be horrible for the wildlife in the Gulf of Mexico. I arrived in Pensacola, Florida yesterday and have seen no oil yet, but teams of people mobilizing for clean-up efforts.
My artwork will be on display this month at Gallery 11 in Pensacola, and several of the paintings are dedicated to wildlife rescue. The sale of these artworks is just part of the contribution I plan to make to this effort.

In the wake of the largest oil spill in America, the Gulf of Mexico and its residents are in peril. BP and the Deepwater Horizon have created a toxic mess that will take decades to clean up and heal. The wildlife may never recover from this disaster. Already Sea Turtles are washing up dead in great numbers and the Brown Pelican, which was just taken off the Endangered Species list, is in trouble again.
British Petroleum is "responsible" for the cleanup effort, but it will take all of us to see that it happens and happens as quickly as possible. I appeal to my artist friends to use your talents to draw attention to the crisis and raise funds to help the innocent animals caught in the path of the oil. I appeal to the rest of you to do whatever you can. We humans are responsible for this mess. Our addiction to this fossil fuel has put these creatures in peril.
As an artist I feel all but helpless to correct the situation, but I can devote some of my paintings to the cause. I can raise funds to assist in the rescue efforts of Gulf coast wildlife organizations. I hope that you will use your talents to do the same. Planet Earth is hurting. Please help.

"Fowl Language" 36x22" watercolor. It really doesn't need much description, but sums up what many of us feel about the tragedy British Petroleum has unleashed on our Gulf Coast.
BP and the Deep Water Horizon blowout disaster have created the largest oil spill in US history and will forever change the Gulf of Mexico. We humans aren't exactly innocent as we've all been raised to be dependent on oil. The wildlife are not only innocent, but also voiceless. We must be their advocates and do what we can to protect them.
Instead of feeling helpless to do anything, I plan to wear my outrage and frustration in hopes of doing something good.
T-shirts are now available. Proceeds will benefit wildlife rescue projects along the Gulf Coast. Thanks for all you can do to help save the innocent creatures in the path of this oil storm.

Portraits are the toughest subject you can tackle in watercolor. I have enormous respect for those who can do them gracefully. My class in Columbia did an awesome job right off the bat. The dramatic portraits they produced were excellent!

I have gotten so busy I can't remember where I am when I wake up each morning. Blogging in real time has become impossible, but I get it done eventually. My class in Springfield was a talented and lively bunch. There sure were a lot of them! Can't wait to get back for round two!

inspire the best work.

Held in the studio of Pat Kochan and Naomi Brotherton, the Artisan's Studio workshop was a fantastic class on painting glass. There were a few professional artists in this group, some talented up-and-comers and even a couple of beginners. All did an incredible job in rendering this challenging still-life. Armed with lots of gum and Diet Mountain Dew, we charged into this painting and accomplished it in three fast days. It was a beautiful Spring day when we started, and snowing by the time we finished! As they say in Texas, if you don't like the weather, wait a minute.
It was an incredible honor to be invited to paint in Naomi Brotherton and Pat Kochan's studio. Naomi is almost 90 years young and taught many of my friends to paint.
I look forward to getting back to Spring again! The drive home was a slippery, snowy blast of late winter.

Destrehan, Louisiana Workshop
With a group of 34, workshops can be hysterical. We had lots of fun, and did some great painting, but I was never in control of this runaway parade. Just on the outskirts of New Orleans, this was a great place for a workshop! Spring was in full bloom and the excitement level was high!. Many of my friends from Baton Rouge came down, a few old friends from previous workshops, and an enthusiastic art teacher from Gulfport made it a blast.

Long-term Efforts
We'll be dealing with the effects of this oil disaster for a long time to come. Until the flow of oil has stopped it is impossible to assess the damage it will be causing, but it is obvious that it will be horrible for the wildlife in the Gulf of Mexico. I arrived in Pensacola, Florida yesterday and have seen no oil yet, but teams of people mobilizing for clean-up efforts.
My artwork will be on display this month at Gallery 11 in Pensacola, and several of the paintings are dedicated to wildlife rescue. The sale of these artworks is just part of the contribution I plan to make to this effort.
I am currently working to organize a series of art auctions at various galleries if you would like to contribute your original artwork as well. We are also working on setting up a new Zazzle site where we can sell our work on products as a concerned artists' community. We will be posting further details as we have them...where to ship your work, image file size for Zazzle, etc.
If you are a gallery or would like to host a fund raising event, please contact us as soon as possible. If you would just like to donate money directly to the organization we are funding, you can send your donations to:
Make checks payable to Wildlife Rehabilitation & Nature Preservation Society, Inc. or WRANPS. P O Box 209; Long Beach, MS 39560. (in the note/subject line of your check, please include "art vs oil spill") Attn: Jan Dubuisson
