Its my pleasure to introduce the Serious Watercolor's Manresa Charity Project which
was started by my suggestion.The "Tierheim Manresa" is an animal support centre located in Manresa, Spain. It's main goal and purpose is to find homes for abandoned dogs and cats in Spain.
The "Serious Watercolor Group", an international group of watercolour artists, created original watercolours to be used on the 2007 International Manresa Watercolor Calendar and other items to benefit the centre.
The Manresa-Charity Calendar Competition is the first competitive project for "Serious Watercolor" members. The calendar features the top 12 paintings of this year's competition, as well as a cover showing all the international artist's watercolors who took part on the competion, With all proceeds going to the animal shelter "Tierheim Manresa". The 2007 calendar is be available exclusively at this CafePress Shop.
There were so many wonderful images generated that many more items are being offered to benefit the center.
All of the images and products displayed in this shop are all donated by the artists of the "Serious Watercolor Group".
