Friday's Auction

Today's auction is going to cover two days, since Blogger was down last night and I was unable to post my painting. This time, however, I'm offering four paintings at once.

A few days ago, I picked up a book that our school library was tossing out. It was a book of old maps, which fascinate me anyway, but after I had the book I noticed that the binding had some very interesting little patterns stamped all over it. One of the 1-cm squares had a stylized oakleaf design inside it, and I have always liked the shape of oak leaves, so I decided to do one as a pattern-ish sort of painting rather than something fairly realistic.

After I finished one, I wondered how it would look to do three more and to do them thematically -- in a seasonal sort of way. This all evolved into four separate Seasons paintings, so I'm going to offer them all up as one package.









"Seasons" is a group of four paintings; each one is an original watercolor painting on acid-free 140lb. Canson paper, paper size is 10x14, image size is 8x12. Bidding starts at $100; use the Comments to bid. At 10PM Central, bidding's over. Winner pays through Paypal, Amazon, or money order. Personal checks must clear before I will ship. If you are the auction winner, please inform me of your location so I can give you an exact shipping amount to add to your payment.

Thank you for looking!! If you like what you see, spread the word -- please! By bidding, you're helping a poor, struggling musician to purchase good equipment.

If you have any particular requests, I do take commissions. I've already gotten several private commissions, but if there's something you'd like to see me tackle for the daily auction painting, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
