During the Summer of 2015 I decided to hold a contest where by my audience would be allowed to name their own price on particular works of art I chose to offer. The purpose of these contests was to be able to get some of my art out and into the world and into the hands of my audience. This was also a way for me to be able to show some gratitude for all the love and support I have received over the years. I selected two pieces that were on exhibition in 2014, both of which were complete with frames I had personally crafted to suit each painting. It gave me great pleasure to do so as the response was truly amazing in that the winners were able to acquire original artwork that spoke to them at a cost determined entirely of their own choosing.
All I can say is that it felt great to do something like this and know that by making this opportunity available to you, my audience, I am left with a very humble feeling of overwhelming joy. I hope to do this again soon and continue to spread that same love and support shown to me by each and every one of you. Stay tuned for more announcements. Many thanks and, as always, all my best.
