Livingston High School Silent Auction Complete

Hello,

I was in Tokyo on the day of the silent auction but I heard that the original painting brought in $800 for the program. We have also sold about 15 additional lithograph prints at $55 each. Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing one. They are high quality giclees from Sacramento Giclee on good quality paper. They are signed and numbered as well. I'm not sure what I'll paint next year but I'm already looking forward to it.

In Tokyo news, I survived two earthquakes, two typhoons, and a lot of overcast and incredibly humid days. I met some interesting characters during my painting trips, finally tallying 4 completed paintings. I've taken photos as well so I can complete a few more when I get time. Thanks to all the well wishers who kept in touch during the various storms we had to endure.

LHS Baseball Fundraiser Image

Livingston High School baseball fundraiser painting complete!

Well folks, the painting is done. I got it professionally scanned at Sacramento Giclee for signed/numbered lithographs. The big fundraiser is August 7th at Rancho Del Rey Country Club in Atwater. We welcome bids from anywhere in the world, just contact me or Matt Winton.

Price? Well, this painting is huge, framed and it took me a loooong time so we agreed to start the bidding at $300.

Current high bid = $450

If it doesn't sell I'll donate that amount and keep it for myself. Now here is where it gets interesting. We are going to make giclee lithographs through Sacramento Giclee. These will be sold, not auctioned. They are $50 (signed by yours truly!) and are roughly 16x24. Just let us know if you want one and we'll put in the order. Anybody who coughs up $50 for the LHS baseball program gets one. Spread the word to the Atwater folks as well. If you live in the area then you can pick it up from coach Winton. Mailing will cost an additional $5.00.
