A number of you have asked how long I will be selling these fine art prints of “Welcome to Paradise.” I plan to continue to have prints made (as well as the other Paradise sign merchandise you see here) until I reach my goal of $10,000 net proceeds... ALL of which will be donated to the Camp Fire relief and recovery efforts. 💪💵🌲 Thanks to the overwhelming number of orders and contributions, I have already reached approximately $4,000 in net proceeds in sales! 🙌🏻 THANK YOU!!! I have always loved my little hometown and adored this iconic sign. I am honored and humbled to know that my artwork brings this same joy back to so many of you. ❤️🌲 #paradisesign #paradisestrong #myhometown #buttestrong #paradisecalifornia #fineartprints To order, visit: http://www.LaniWoods.com P.S. Wouldn’t one of these items make a great Valentines gift for a Camp Fire survivor you know? If you do, be sure to make a note on your order notes that it is a “gift.” 💕😍 https://www.instagram.com/p/BsrFyiJlVZn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gw3ke8z3pnm8

I loved this sign. It was always a significant symbol of returning home, especially after I graduated high school and left for college. On some late nights, my friends and I would pull off the road and take photos next to the sign, mainly as proof to show to new friends not familiar with our hometown that Paradise DOES exist! Located on the lower end of town on Skyway, this sign welcomed visitors who entered Paradise who drove up from Chico. It reads, “May you find Paradise to be all its name implies.” November 8th, 2018... While watching the news coverage and seeing the photos posted online from hometown friends who were evacuating during the initial hours of the Camp Fire, I felt like I was watching a horror movie. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I still can’t. Once I saw the image of the Paradise sign burning, I completely lost it... 😢 - - - - - 5x7 Ink on paper sketch of the Paradise town welcome sign. Once the large oil painting is completed, prints will be made and sold by Paradise Rotary Club. Proceeds will benefit the Camp Fire survivors and relief efforts. - - - - - #paradise #paradisestrong #buttestrong #campfire #paradisesign #paradisecalifornia (at Paradise, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq_vFDeFt2d/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lkld8fia7fyd

Made this 22.5"x56" sign for my dad last Christmas. Used an ancient @craftsman router and painted the letters. #RIPpuggy #ParadiseSign * * * * * #BrotherRavenWorkshop #SmallBusiness #Woodwork #ShopTime #Sawdust #Wheelchair #NoLimits #NoExcuses #LifeGoesOn (at Brother Raven Workshop) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq8q9akAthf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=28xqw98d4mb
