Description
Even Camels Get The Blues is a painting in which a seemingly smiling blue camel casts a deep shadow over a blue desert landscape. It was fun to paint, and fun is good. I think it conveys a peaceful feeling. The camel is content. Who doesn't need a tiny blue camel in their art collection?
*****
Even Camels Get The Blues is a postcard sized study I did in preparation for painting a camel in another piece I was planning. Camels are really quite oddly shaped critters, and I wanted to make sure I could draw them before I delved into something more complicated. My line of reasoning was; If a camel that is not camel colored can still be recognized as a camel, then the drawing works, at least to that extent. And anyway, painting it was fun.

I was preparing to make an artwork based on the following poem:
Untitled, Poem 24
Camels love chocolate and caramel
Camels get warm with candles
Can camels go to a chocolate factory?

Each year I contribute a painting to the Inspired Art program, offered by America Scores Denver. The donated paintings are auctioned as a benefit for the program, which offers poetry writing and soccer training opportunities in local elementary schools. The participants in the program are lovingly referred to as poet athletes.
*****
The Inspired Art project enlists local artists to create and donate original works of art. Artists select a poem written by a Denver elementary school student in 3rd, 4th or 5th grade participating in America SCORES Denver. Inspired by the poem, artists create a wide range of spectacular and truly personal pieces.
All submitted artwork will be auctioned at Inspired Art on Thursday, March 27, 2014 with proceeds going to benefit America SCORES Denver.
Inspired Art is based on the philosophy that through creation, Inspiration flourishes. Through this cycle of inspiration and influence, urban students are able to witness their creativity brought to life and local artists are able to build connections with their community.
Furthermore, supporters of America SCORES Denver are able to see the profound impact children�s words can have on others. The creative interpretation that local artists display in their work shows our youth the power and limitless impact of their words and voices.
Tickets for the artwork auction are available for purchase here.
