North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota

I start my cross country free painting give away tomorrow to these following states: North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota. I am so excited!

I am also really happy to meet my painting reward delivery on time, June 2013! Almost everyone had either picked up or had received their reward by mail. I only have three more pickups left and I have one to donate.

Here are photos of happy Kickstarter backers with their painting rewards.

Painting Rewards

The Kickstarter painting rewards are being picked up by the backers. Thanks again everyone!

Painting at a Barn in Maine

I spent Memorial Day weekend painting at a barn in Maine. These paintings will go to North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and South Dakota next month (destinations may change).

Busy Painting the Kickstarter Reweards

Been busy painting the Kickstarter rewards. These 11x14 happy U.S. map paintings are for folks who donate in the $95 range.

Kickstarter Fundraising... Close to 300% of my goal!

I can't believe that I am close to 300% of my Kickstarter goal! Just $351 more to $9,000. I am definitely feeling the love!!!

I initially just asked for $3,000 because Kickstarter will not grant the fundraiser the amount requested if the pledge goal is not met. The first $3,000 will mostly be spent on art supplies. The rest of the money raised will go toward the 20 state travel expenses (airfares, car rentals, gas, hotel, etc...).

Thank you very, very much everyone.
