There have been so many amazing donations over the past few days.  I have to say, sending my husband to the auction to bid for me is going to be a tad on the crazy side.  I took a bus to the near south loop this afternoon to pick up this piece, “coming and going #4” by local artist Darren Thompson.

Coming and Going #4

He works with special needs kids at a technical school and agreed to meet me there.  His work is so urban lively.  I love the funk and attitude he brings to his paintings.  This one just may be hanging on my wall on Saturday evening.
