Each of us have a story we could tell about how a smile, 

given or received,

changed the course of events in our life.

(if only for a moment)

This project is about honoring the value 

and importance of a smile.

I am asking that you, YES YOU, join me and these ladies below by lending your smile.

It's really simple.  All you have to do is:

• Send me a hi-res photo of you smiling. 
• Email it to me at smileee001@aol.com and the subject line should say Smiling Project.
• When I get your photo I will do a charcoal painting of you which will eventually become part of a larger piece of art. (to be created when I reach 52 smiles)
