UPDATE: All of these drawings have now been sold, for the benefit of the music program at Suttons Bay Public Schools. BIG THANKS TO ALL! I am just keeping the page here in case I want to remind myself of where these pictures went.

Hi, friends! Welcome to my page about raising some money for the music program at our local public school. It’s kind of experimental; I’m figuring it out as I go. Here’s the basic idea: I have chosen 30 smallish illustrations. I would like to sell them for $100 each, no bargaining, it’s 100% for the school kids! I retain reproduction rights.

The part I am figuring out is how you can contact me, pay for them, etc. For now, I think I will say, email me at lynneraeperkins.com if you want to purchase one. Or you can message me through Facebook or Instagram (lynneraeperkins). I will respond and let you know if the piece is still available. Then I will hold it for 1 week while I wait to receive your check, made out to Friends of Fine Arts, with lynnerae fundraiser in the memo line. When I receive your check, I will let you know, and ship you the piece or deliver it, if you’re nearby. Does anybody write checks anymore? I have a personal venmo account, but I don’t know how to use it, really. That is something that could evolve as this goes along. My husband can accept credit cards through his business.

Okay, enough of all that! I will post one pic per day on Instagram and Facebook, but here they are, all at once. It is possible that I will include the book the illustration is from, if shipping doesn’t get too crazy.
