UPDATE - 10/30@5:44PM: The auction is live here.

Alex Lifeson will once again be participating in The Kidney Foundation of Canada's annual A Brush of Hope charity auction this year according to this Facebook post from Friday (thanks RushFanForever). As they have for several years running, Alex Lifeson along with dozens of other Canadian celebrities have donated paintings to be auctioned off to raise money for the charity. Alex has participated in the fundraiser nearly every year since 2006, including last year with his painting Blind Date Picnic which ended up selling for nearly $4800! Alex's painting for this year is titled Aquarium (no preview available yet). The Brush of Hope online charity auction kicks off on October 29th at Noon and will run through November 8th at Noon on www.ebay.ca.
