A Brush of Hope

I came upon this eBay auction last night and thought it was really neat! The Kidney Foundation of Canada has collected a bunch of paintings done by some minor and major Canadian celebrities. Some are real masterpieces, and some look like the drawings on your fridge that your kids did. In either case, this is your chance to get your hands on a one of a kind painting done by some of your most beloved Canadian musicians, TV hosts, athletes and actors. All of the proceeds from these auctions will go toward kidney research and to improving the lives of people with kidney disease. The Brush of Hope eBay site has 101 paintings for sale this year. Here's a small sample of what they've got.

I don't know about you guys, but I kind of really want this classic by Alan Thicke.
