Nearly every year since its inception back in 2006, Alex Lifeson has donated one of his uniquely created paintings to the Kidney Foundation of Canada's annual Brush of Hope charity auction. However for the 2021 auction, Alex has donated a charcoal sketch of a live model that he drew back in 1971. From the auction website:

Drawn in 1971, then 18 year old Alex completed this sketch of a live model while attending an art class during the formative years of Rush.

A truly one of a kind item!

Piece is charcoal on art paper, measures 18"x24" and is hand signed and dated on the front by Alex Lifeson!
The charity auction will end on November 10th. Complete details and bidding instructions are available at this location.
