City of Hope Banner

 City of Hope Banner, 24 x 18, Silk Painting

A few months ago I attended a local City of Hope Chapter meeting to show my artwork and give a demonstration.  After a quick presentation of techniques, I invited the meeting-goers to come up and paint.  Together we produced this banner for the group, which includes the chapter name and the logo for City of Hope. 

See the Number? And other less subtle symbols....
