We're Alright by Abraham Hunter
From the Artist:
Last fall, wildfires roared down the slopes of the Smoky Mountains and hurt so many of the people and wildlife I love here in Tennessee. It was surreal. The firefighters fought for days, and the numbers of homes destroyed and lives lost kept rising. It was a very emotional time. However, even though at first it looked very bleak, the fires exposed the beautiful loving core of the community like never before. We truly loved our neighbors as ourselves. It was an outpouring of love that wouldn't have happened without the pain that the fires caused. That's when I started this painting...
In a charred forest of the Smoky Mountains, this momma bear and her precious cub comfort one another. Warm rays bring life to the tiny green buds and flowers as spring arrives in all its glory to cover the dark memories and ashes. The right side of the painting has less life in it while the left side is full of life. I created it that way so that your eye sees the ashes, then you see the love of the mother and child, then the rebirth. The forest will now be more beautiful than before, and the land will heal. Love got them through the winter, and now it's over. They're alright. Love got us through the pain and devastation, and now we are healing. We made it. "We're Alright."

From the Artist:
Spring can inspire especially after a long winter. One of the first signs of spring in Tennessee are redbuds, and I've always loved them and the vibrancy they bring so I wanted to include them in one of my paintings. The subdued warm and cool hues of the background paired with subtle tones of a titmouse's feathers seemed like a perfect match and create a harmonious image. I hope this piece inspires you and brings the excitement of spring into your life.

By now, you are more than likely aware of the devastation that the wildfires caused to many of the families and businesses in the Gatlinburg area. In the aftermath, Tennessee has truly lived up to its nickname as the Volunteer State. However, the need for help has not diminished. We are therefore asking for your help and offering you something in return for your generosity.
We anticipate an influx of victims into our local food ministry, Lighting the Way Outreach. We have been offering a shopping basket of food to about 75 families each week. This organization has been regularly distributing food for a few years with funding almost exclusively from our galleries, and we expect a dramatic increase. To be sure that we can accommodate the influx, we are offering our clients several ways to contribute and share their generosity...
1. Now through Christmas Eve, you can purchase any Limited Edition canvases by Mark Keathley, Abraham Hunter or Rod Chase's Uncommon Valor and A Foggy Morning in Paris for 50% off with a donation to the food ministry. This will give you, our valued customers, the ability to help those Gatlinburg residents in need and receive a beautiful painting to commemorate your generosity. Call in to one of our galleries to place your order and give your donation. (See the list below.) As of right now, the galleries in Gatlinburg are still closed, but you can call the central office to place your order.
2. Mark Keathley, Abraham Hunter, Rod Chase, Asa Gochenour, Robert Finale, and Jess Wathen have each offered to donate an original work of art for auction with 100% of the proceeds going to the food ministry. They will be auctioned off on December 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, and 17th. You can find details about how to participate in the auction here. See images of the pieces here. Each auction will take place from 6pm-7pm via Facebook on Lighting the Way Outreach's page.
3. We will have a raffle for a framed, Limited Edition canvas: 24x30 Refuge by Mark Keathley. Clients are encouraged to make a donation to enter the raffle, but it is not required. 100% of the proceeds from the raffle will also be going to the food ministry to help those affected by the wildfires. Call your art consultant to make your donation or click here. If you'd like to make a recurring donation, click here.
Several of our gallery family members lost their homes in the fire. Their GoFundMe pages are linked below. These accounts will be specifically for the people listed, and theywill benefit from 100% of the donations.
