Today, Jan 12th, the 1st anniversary of the Haitian earthquake is at hand. In the spirit of continuing to assist in the rebuilding of IMN School in Darbonne, SCC is holding a Silent Auction on ten Haitian paintings. All proceeds of the Silent Auction will benefit IMN. Schools Count Corp paid $28 for each of the following ten paintings. The auction has been ongoing for the past two weeks and the current bid is noted next to each painting. Should you desire to make a bid simply send me your bid by emailing me at rich219@comcast.net. You have to note just two things in your bid, the amount and the number assigned to each painting. I will update the bids each day on this blogspot. You can go to http://www.schoolscountcorp.blogspot.com/ to check on the bids.
Besides acquiring a wonderful piece of art, you will receive a tax deduction for the difference between the purchase price and what you paid for the painting should you have the highest bid. So, if a winning bid is $110.00 then you would acquire the painting as well as getting a tax deduction for $82 ($110 - $28). All sales are final. Payment is by check only, Payable to Schools Count Corp. Arrangements will be made, agreeable to both SCC and the winning bidder, regarding delivery. The final bid on all paintings is Jan. 12th at 9:00 pm.
All of the paintings are on canvas and are not framed. I did have an Art teacher examine the paintings to determine the type of media used. All of the paintings are signed though some are simply initialed as I will note. Some of the artist signatures are difficult to read and I have done my best to represent them to the best of my ability. All ten of the paintings are shown below.
