It's a birth painting! The Harrari's open my painting

Years ago, I got a harp handmade by Harrari Harps in Israel. They are thought to be the first harp makers back in Israel that are making Biblical style harps. In 2021 a fire broke out in a forest near them and burned down their harp making workshop. They lost everything. I wanted to help, so I asked for the ashes from their shop, and made a painting using the ashes mixed into the paint. I made prints of it, to sell as a fundraiser for them. They were not able to get insurance, because they lived too near the forest. It was a real tragedy for their business. They had to lay off all their employees. They lost everything in the fire, including aged 3000 year old olive wood, unfinished harps, and had to return money to the buyers. I made this painting of hope and new life, out of the ashes and mailed the original painting to them, all the way from the USA to Israel. It was not easy to ship to them and very costly.

Here is the story at my website.
