Art Auction A Huge Success




An evening of art and wine abuzz with conversation all in support of the kids in our community that are battling cancer. Once again the community of Metchosin organized a very successful event with outstanding support from neighbours, friends and family. I was so sorry to have missed the event, but I have heard nothing but rave reviews about how fantastic the show was.
So once again thank you Metchosin!
Above ( bottom ) is the painting I donated to the auction. The scene is overlooking Taylor Beach where Mister and I frequently take our walks. I had great results with the sky using mostly filbert brushes with lots of phtalo turquoise ( my fav ).
Above ( top ) is a painting by artist Kim Saunders and donated to the cause. It was a show stopper and people were outbidding each other all night. In the end it brought in a wad of cash. Thank you Kim !
Above ( center ) a handmade necklace and pendant created and donated by artist Christine Richter, artist and craft guru. Thank you Christine !!
Also, artists Karen Pike ( my mom ) and Avril Goodall each donated a piece of artwork which added to the show and all helped to make it a huge success !
Many other local artists which are way too many to list, showed their support by donating some of their great work. It all made for a great show with loads of variety. A great big thank you to you too !
