CNN  Bar Harbor, Maine July 17, 2010 talks about Russ - "President Obama's trip to Maine this weekend may have brought out a few critics who think he should instead be in the Gulf Coast, but some local residents are celebrating the first family's visit to the area.  Local artist Russell D'Alessio is giving away two posters that commemorate the Obama's trip to the state affectionately know as Vacationland.  Instead of selling the posters in his downtown art gallery, the artist is asking for a donation to benefit the birds affected by the oil spill.  One print is dedicated to President Obama, welcoming him to Bar Harbor and depicts a harbor scene.  The second print is addressed to President and Mrs. Obama with the words: Thank you."

A few weeks ago four artists from Bar Harbor formed a group called the Bar Harbor Artists Consortium.  Our primary goals are to connect and grow as artists and to choose a cause to help.  The easy choice was to help clean the birds in the Gulf of Mexico as none of could imagine if this oil spill has happened here on Mt. Desert Island and in Bar Harbor, Maine.   My personal contribution began with the "For the Birds" posters shown below, selling them here in the gallery.  When President and Mrs. Obama visited our island I made the "Obama" posters and continued to raise monies.  Now, I offer them to you on line.   Click the "shopping cart" button below and you are on your way to helping protect, clean, and save our wildlife through my art.  Living here along the coast of Maine our birds and wildlife are a part of us.  I have placed these birds in my paintings and sculptures for close to four decades.  I truly can't imagine what this spill must feel like to the folks living in this coastal plain watching it be destroyed.  Our wildlife and environment is so precious, I hope you will find it in your heart to help me help save the birds.
100% of proceeds will be donated to the International Bird Rescue Center and the National Audubon Society. 
The Birds Thank you!
