Banshee Artists

Hi. This is Greg guest-posting.

The editing company I work with in Dallas had their 3rd annual art show last night. Their own artists and their friends are given 10"x 10" canvases, which are sold for $50 each, with all the money being donated to the local children's hospital.

The producer I work with gave me three canvases so Henry, Elsa and Ansel could participate. I brought them with me to Utah and all three kids spent an afternoon painting scenes from my mom's garden. Here are Henry and Elsa with their pieces (Ansel was on my back as I shot this).


There were some really amazing pieces there last night. This one was painted by a guy who was one of the chief artists on The Iron Giant.


This was a great 3D piece. Sorry it's such a blurry picture.


After walking through and looking at all the art, we returned to the Banshees' work and were floored to realize all three of their pieces were sold! We're not sure who bought them. All we know is the tags below each painting were missing.


So our kids made $150 for the Children's Museum, and they've all sold exactly as many canvases as Vincent Van Gogh did in his lifetime. Can't wait for next year's exhibit.
