I'm was out supporting my local Salvation Army today, by manning a Red Shield Appeal collection point at a local shopping centre in the city of Bayswater, WA.
While there, I am taking the opportunity to do some art! It is a great conversation starter – hence this painting.
Many generous people supported the Salvos here, and anyone is welcome to join them by donating online at my fundraising page.
