by Kevin Macpherson

Auction Bid #61 - Starting Bid: $600.00

Value $4200.00

This oil painting was painted during a sunny day in Juncalito. Juncalito is a small village near our house in Loreto, Baja California Sur. Many times, Wanda and I have gone out fishing from this little village and caught some hard-fighting Tuna. The birds were taking a siesta waiting until new fishermen came up to shore with their days catch.

All funds raised during our Second Annual Guatemala Thrive Benefit helps sustain Local Hope's programs and services, empowering indigenous Mayan families in Guatemala to become healthy, educated and self-reliant. We work to break the cycle of poverty, so these families aren’t compelled to make the perilous journey north, and instead, have the opportunity to prosper in their own homeland.

It will also fuel the work of our partner, the non-profit Art Ambassadors for a Colorful World, to nurture young artists!

Art Ambassador for a Colorful World was founded in 2014 by Kevin Macpherson.
*We believe art has the power to change the world. It inspires individuals and brings together entire communities. Art Ambassador helps children and adults express their vision of the world through art. When children draw and paint, a creative spark is ignited. They are able to develop life skills like cooperation, confidence and leadership. Art provides a colorful retreat from everyday life bringing joy and laughter to kids and their communities.
*Proceeds from this auction will go to support our scholarship recipients now and in the future. Art requires self-discipline, perseverance and stamina, but the rewards are limitless. Art creates life-long friendships with other artists and teachers and has the power to forge strong bonds between people from disparate locations and life-circumstances. Art engenders curiosity and an engagement with the world and its people. It has the power to carry us beyond ourselves, breaking down the barriers of language, ethnicity, class and nationality.
*Art Ambassador for a Colorful World holds GuideStar's platinum Seal of Transparency in Arts, Culture, and Humanities charities, an achievement shared by less than 1% of all listed nonprofits.
