Something I just love doing is watching clouds and taking photographs of them.
 
On this occasion... as is often the case... I not only saw beautiful clouds in the sky but I came across a beautiful song produced by a young man who passed on early in life.
 
I was really touched by the song, which has a really cheery tune despite the sad circumstances of Zach Sobiech who lost his Earthly life to osteosarcome (bone cancer) on May 20, 2013.
 
I felt drawn to listen to his song over and over again whilst painting and soon these soft and serene clouds just emerged before me - as if he was sailing by.
 
I found out much later after the creation of this painting, that the story of Zach stretched far and wide.  If you wish to read or learn more about the story of Zach Sobriech and all that has been accomplished for childrens' cancer... click on this link: https://childrenscancer.org/zach/ 
 
Since I was so touched by the whole story, I decided to dedicate 50% of all profits from the sale of the original painting and all prints thereof ...to the foundation.
