Online Art Auctions Are Great!


The Art Papers 11th Annual Art Auction will be having a Silent Auction on Feb.6th. But there is an online portion in which you can bid through 9am on 2/5. You can even do a "buy it now" if you love a piece.

One of the things I love about this is that artists receive up to 35% of the proceeds. That's nice. I've seen so many times where the artists are asked for a donation and even their materials aren't covered.

So stop by and visit.

I just like to see a group of unique art in one place. I can look for styles that might be interesting to translate into glass- whether it's line, colors, pattern or something else.

In this case, I'm showing Tony Hernandez's untitled piece done in encaustic ink and colored pencils on paper. I don't know why, but I always love a bird sitting on something. Please don't try to analyze that, because I'm a little afraid to find out the reason. But I love this one.

So for a change of pace, stop by and check this out. Let me know if any of the pieces speak to you. I had others that I loved that weren't quite rated PG for this blog. But sure made me smile.

See you tomorrow!

  1. Hello Marcy,

    I like this one: http://www.biddingforgood.com/auction/item/Item.action?id=103292231

    I'm not wild about the color (I don't like red/orange too much), but I love the depth of the layers of hand cut paper and the fact that it looks kinda like cells.

  2. I like that one too. It reminds me of flying meatballs wrapped in spaghetti. (perhaps my art critic abilities need to be honed a bit?)

  3. Good day, sun shines!
    There have been times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
    I have never thought that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
    Now, I'm happy and lucky , I begin to get real money.
    It's all about how to select a correct companion who utilizes your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, parts and divides the profit with me.

    You can ask, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
