UPDATED TO ADD: The last piece has been sold! Many, many thanks to all! I thank you, the students who will receive extra arts experiences thank you.
Many drawings were chosen, purchased, and delivered, 100% in support of arts programming in the public school. I am so grateful to all who participated. I reached the financial goal I was shooting for.
(UPDATE: STILL AVAILABLE: #11 AND 20) It’s happening again! I am putting 31 original artworks up for sale to raise money for our local public school’s fine arts program. The first 30 are for sale for $100 each, no bargaining. The 31st is for sale for $200 because, well, look and you’ll see why. The first 18 are illustrations from my book Violet and Jobie in the Wild. The next 13 are from my book At Home in a Faraway Place, published just this year. All illustrations are in watercolor, with some pen and ink and some pencil. All are on Arches 300 lb. cold press watercolor paper. I am only selling pieces that I really like, so I hope you will like some, too. I will try to keep up to date on what is sold and what is still available. I will post one image per day on Instagram and Facebook. Caveat: I took these pics quickly, with my phone, in the sunlight on the back porch. So they might look a little crooked or shadowy in places.
If you are interested, you can message me on Instagram (@lynneraeperkins)or Facebook, or email me at lynneraeperkins@gmail.com. Thanking you in advance, for all those youths who are pining for arts experiences. 100% of proceeds go to arts stuff at the school. Love, love, lrp.
And here they are. Measurements are size of image plus 1/4″ all around. Paper is bigger. Width precedes height.
A wonderful family literacy organization called Read To Them is planning to announce Violet and Jobie as a suggested feature title in January of 2024. They recommend it as “ideal for all elementary school audiences.” For more information about their organization and programs, visit them at readtothem.org.
