Silent Auction- "Raven's Land"

I will be hosting monthly Silent Auctions of my early work from now until January of 2012. For this month, I am putting up a very important and very personal piece of work from my earlier days as an artist:

 "Raven's Land" 2007

The starting bid is $50. You can raise it by as little as a penny. The auction will go on until midnight on Mother's Day (June 8th). If you win the piece and request having it mailed, I will have to add the cost of shipping and insurance (if insurance is requested). I will provide the receipts for any additional costs and materials.

Medium: Oil pastel on Arches Heavyweight paper
Dimensions: 16"x20"
Other: The piece is matted on black matte-board and should be easy to frame or re-matte if desired. I am also willing to do my own custom framing for this piece if you are interested however I will charge for the cost of the additional materials.

Artist Statement: PDF
Framing Sketches: Will provide PDF shortly
