Oh the best answer was....

Put a mark on the board, then maybe two more in quick succession after a moment's reflection on Mark No. 1.

Then be sure you have a fully loaded brush and plop it down without worrying about where. Take a blade, knife or piece of wood and give it a push here and there a few strokes. Set it aside a minute, get some sand or dirt, and throw it at the panel. Squirt it a few times with water (if acrylic) or turps (if oil) not too much but to get it a bit runny in places...pick it up and shake it a bit...not too hard but to get some motion going. Set aside to dry a while, then come back...look at it from all directions, and study really hard what you see. Then proceed to bring it out.

Answer 1

I think you should donate to a charity that doesn't receive government funding. For instance, there is always funding for research and other projects for major charities that include cancer, AIDS, MS, cystic fibrosis and diabetes. Don't get me wrong, they're serious illnesses, but when people think of charities, they usually donate to ones like that.

I personally think you should donate to an animal charity, such as the ASPCA, Humane Society, or even a no kill shelter. They are always in need of food, kitty litter, etc. After Katrina last year, I donated money to the Louisiana SPCA which was desperately needed. Thankfully they had packed all the animals up and placed them in different shelters before the hurricane hit, but I know they are spending a lot on rebuilding. There were also so many misplaced animals because of the hurricane who have been taken into other shelters. Many shelters have little or no government support, and people tend to give to 'human' causes.

I donate to several charities a year, and yes, several are animal charities, but I really believe that this year animal charities need anything they can get. Many animal organizations are suffering greatly this year, and animals are beautiful companions. Animals should be doing much more than sitting in cages waiting for people to adopt them. Animals want the same things we do...food, water, shelter, and love.

Answer 2

Is there a charity that has touched you life or that of members of your family or close friends, if so maybe you could be generous enough to donate your 25% charity gift to them or maybe a charity that does one of the lost of senses, like guide dogs for the blind, dogs for the deaf or that charity that does the computers for the people who can't talk, how nice would that be, the blind may not be able to see you painting, but can sense it, the deaf and the people who can't talk can describe it back in their way, or maybe you could donate your gift to the toe painters, an artist like yourself would surely recognise what benefit a donation to that charity could do, good luck and well done for been so generous.

Answer 3

Stem cell research.
Our government refuses to assist with funding, because a voiced minority have a lot of money to lobby in congress and buy the presidency to vote against it.
I t would make the quality of life so much better for many serious ill people.
Many americans , those who can afford to leave the states are paying the price and getting life saving treatment not available here in US.
Those who can't afford to go into foreign nations where they have advanced stem cell treatment ( like my daughter-in law) are dying. She was buried the beginning of June. She was educated in pharmacy --had an organ transplant and was only 35 years old--but the only potential lifesaving treatment was not available for her is US.and under health insurance.

Answer 4

The NSPCC simply because it needs the money and can do a lot of good with it. It's a charity I hope we can one day dispense with, after all if we can look after our own children without the need for a society to protect them then there really is very little hope for the human race, but while we have it and we need it, then they deserve the money

Answer 5

Why are you constrained to $30? people who're being fed for unfastened should not be too choosy, so in line with possibility you may variety the pasta dishes between spaghetti, macaroni and cheese, and goulash. there are a number of companies available who're prepared to donate to worth motives.

Answer 6

hearing dogs is a good one they rely on donations and a while ago had two training centres one of which they had to close due to lack of funds

these dogs make a huge difference to the lifes of deaf people they are trained to the specific requirements of the indivdual

ie
when a baby cries

many dogs are donated as unwanted pets or come from rescue centres
