"Cinco de Mayo in the Skagit Valley is a wonderful celebration of the Mexican population, their contribution to the valley's culture and the work they do. Many of the children of these farm working families need after hour school support. The Children of the Valley organization was formed to "provide a positive, caring, and supportive environment for children of low-income families" during those hours. The organization holds an annual fund raising event on the weekend of Cinco de Mayo and artists are invited to contribute a painting or two for this event. Last year I had one painting to offer and this year I will contribute two. It is a fun time to rub elbows with the community and give something back which makes me happy. Below are the two works for my entry. Each of these oil paintings is on 6x6 masonite, unframed. http://childrenofthevalleymv.org
