Diana Jackson Painting for The Water School to Be Auctioned Off at THE Domain Conference 

Many of you who know my wife Diana know that she is a gifted oil painter. Like me, she is a fan of The Water School, a charity whose clean water solution has prevented disease and saved many lives in developing nations. So, for a long time now, Diana has wanted to do an original painting for The Water School that 

would capture the spirit of the organization's mission and perhaps raise a few dollars for TWS's work in the process. After all, even a little goes a long way with The Water School - a $50 donation can supply a family of five with clean drinking water for life.

While she knew she wanted to do a special painting Diana wasn't sure what she wanted to paint until she saw a photograph that another Water School supporter, Braden Pollock, took during a trip to Africa earlier this year. With that image providing her inspiration she set up a 30 X 40 canvas and started applying brushstrokes. 

Above and below: After weeks of work, Diana Jackson applies finishing touches to her painting for The Water School - a work that will be auctioned off later this month at THE Domain Conference with all proceeds going to the charity.

With the painting now done, it will be auctioned off at the inaugural edition of THE Domain Conference that is coming up September 26-29 at the Hyatt Regency Pier 66 Hotel in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. As long-time supporters of the Water School's work, our friends at Igloo.com are administering this fundraising effort. To bid on this painting by proxy, get more information, or to make a donation to Water School, you can email them directly at [email protected].

The domain industry has been supporting The Water School's work for many years now, so most of you know how effectively the Water School system combats waterborne disease and death related to sanitation problems. The program's three step process is introduced though local school systems where the children pass on what they have learned to their parents and ultimately their community. Proceeds from Diana's oil painting help kids in Uganda experience the life-changing impact of clean water. Diana will be at THE Domain Conference and would be happy to see you there and answer any questions you may have about the painting and the inspiration behind it.
