How exciting! A chance to donate to charity and display some art at the same time. The Ontario College of Art and Design - Whodunit Sale is a great way for both established and up and coming artists to donate their art. Basically every piece in the sale is only 5''x7'' and can be any type of media, oil, watercolor, photography and this year, even 3D! No one knows who the artist is until the piece is sold! So being that every piece is only $75, you might be buying a masterpiece, or a first try by an art student.
Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to finish any paintings for the sale. Kicking myself for that :( But I did manage to donate a few of my favorite photos from around the world. I'm very excited to see some of my work hung on a wall for once!
I tried to choose the photos that I thought would still be interesting and powerful, even in such a small size. Most of the ones I chose actually ended up being from Sri Lanka, which is indeed a colorful place. The photo above I took at an old abandoned train stat
ion in the teacovered hills of central Sri Lanka.
The photo here was taken down an alleyway in a suburb of Mumbai, India. I found the bright colors of the saris worn by the women to be so beautiful; such a contrast to the drab poverty covering the city.
If you'd like to see more photos from the show let me know. If you're in the Toronto area, see the link below for more details on the sale.
