I had the evening to make an original painting, and at the end they auctioned it off. It was really quite fun. I finished about 10 minutes before the auction, so I even had time to have a little dessert. Here is the painting that I produced, photographed with it's new owners (Ron Chenier and his wife).<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17496986-113133418444427863?l=bengatien.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>polarbrainfreezehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01367213621985253738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17496986.post-1129340636561823262005-10-14T18:41:00.000-07:002005-10-18T08:04:37.743-07:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7727/1687/1600/large1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7727/1687/320/large1.jpg" border="0" /></a> This is "Cup O' Jazz", inspired by some of my friends who drink way too much Coffee!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17496986-112934063656182326?l=bengatien.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>polarbrainfreezehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01367213621985253738noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17496986.post-1128548509327486152005-10-05T14:38:00.000-07:002005-10-06T08:20:47.023-07:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7727/1687/1600/large.jpg"><br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7727/1687/320/large.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />This is currently one of my favorite paintings.
