"Dawning of the Day" by Bernie Rosage Jr. ~ 20x16x1.5" ~ Oil on Textured Canvas It's with a sad heart that I make this post...
Lisa Fletcher, a fellow Onslow County teacher, suffered the devastating loss of her beautiful 15 year old daughter, Riley, this week. Lisa was one of my Clinical teachers during my junior year at ECU. Riley was one of my art students during the time I taught children's summer art workshops in 2012-14. She was a true artist with an Art Spirit that was contagious! My heart breaks for Lisa and my mind cannot even grasp the concept that Riley has left us.
Riley was a CFIES eagle for her entire elementary career. She then went on to be a part of the Swansboro school community where she was a 9th grader at Swansboro High School. Riley was active in the arts; singing and playing her guitar, writing poetry, and she enjoyed drawing and painting.
With Lisa’s permission, Jennifer Askins and Melonie Shepard, have created the Riley Fletcher Arts Scholarship. This scholarship will be open to an OCS graduating senior pursuing a degree in the arts. The selection criteria is still being worked on. Lisa will select the student from the applications submitted.
For my contribution... I wanted to do something special to help get the word out about the newly created Riley Fletcher Arts Scholarship. I am auctioning off a 20x16x1.5" original oil painting on textured gallery wrapped canvas that I created recently. 100% on the proceeds will go to the the scholarship as my tribute to sweet Riley Girl. The piece is titled "Dawning of the Day" because I was moved by the lyrics of the Mary Fahl song with the same title.
The auction is launched on Facebook... please personal message me with your bid. Bidding will end March 1, 2018. The painting will be on display at Swansboro Middle School next week through March 1st. Again, 100% of the winning bid will go to the Riley Fletcher Arts Scholarship.

Anyone wishing to make a contribution to the scholarship honoring Riley may forward their donation to Jennifer Askins at the school address below. She will provide each contributor with a receipt. She will also give Lisa a list of contributors who made this gift of education possible in the name of her sweet daughter.
