Sale of New Artworks by San Diego County Painter to Benefit Redwoods Conservation

SAN DIEGO - Dec. 1, 2014 - PRLog -- Escondido, California. December 1, 2014 –For the month of January 2015, Escondido-based oil painter Cedar Lee will be giving back to California with donations to the Save the Redwoods League. Lee will donate 10 percent of the total funds raised over the course of the month through sales of her new series of large-scale original oil paintings.

The new and ongoing series of paintings is inspired by the forests of Sequoia National Park, which Lee visited in the spring of 2014 to take photographs and gather ideas. New pieces are released each month as Lee creates them in her backyard art studio.

Contributions to the Save the Redwoods League go towards purchasing redwoods land, restoring logged forests, studying how to best protect them and teaching children and adults about the 2,000-3,000-year-old giant trees that are one of California’s most treasured wonders. More info can be found at SaveTheRedwoods.org.

“I’ve always been inspired by the giant sequoias,” says Lee. “But finally seeing these majestic trees in person this year made me determined to contribute to their protection for future generations. I decided on a full month of donations! This is a great way to decorate your home with peaceful forest images while also benefiting a great environmental cause.”

The oil paintings, some more than four feet across, range in price from $890 to $2,490, and can be viewed at ArtByCedar.com.
