Last year L's school had a fund raiser event and I donated a custom oil painting for their silent auction - I would paint the winning bidder an oil painting of anything they wanted. The painting ended up bringing in $100 and the winner ended up being the parents of one of Stacy's piano students (small world). It took them a couple months to decide what they wanted me to paint, but eventually they found a subject and I slaved away for another couple of months and wrapped it up this week!
Here's the original source picture.
I offered another custom oil painting for this year's auction and this time it went for $125. The winners haven't contacted me yet, so the future subject is still a big mystery. With my luck the winners will probably want a black velvet Elvis.
