THIS AUCTION IS NOW CLOSED.

I used to do art auctions quite often, but I haven’t done any in awhile. Since I will be moving soon, I thought now might be a good time to get some artworks out onto someone else’s walls so I won’t have to physically move them to my new place. Now is a good opportunity for you to get an original BZTAT painting for a great price, and have some fun in the process!

I am going to start off with an auction of two paintings today.

The first is the one that you see on the right. It is a colorful contemporary folk art style painting of a cat in the grass. It is painted on wood with a faux frame painted as part of the image, so no framing is needed.

If you would like to bid on it, simply state your bid in the comments below and indicate that your bid is for “Cat in the Grass”. The minimum bid is $70 and there is a “Buy Now” option. (See details below.)

The second painting in the auction is the “City Poodle” painting that you see to the left. It, too, is a colorful contemporary folk art style painting on wood with a faux frame painted as part of the image, this one of a very urban pup.

If you would like to bid on it, simply state your bid in the comments below and indicate that your bid is for “City Poodle”. The minimum bid is $70 and there is a “Buy Now” option. (See details below.)

Both paintings are listed at $175 for the regular price, so you just might get them for a steal! Bid away and have some fun! But hurry, and watch closely. The bidding ends Thursday night!

It's time for a Spring Create-a-thon!

It’s Spring and the weather in Ohio has been fabulous! If you know anything about Ohio, you know that FABULOUS is rarely a word used to describe the weather. To celebrate our great fortune, I am going to have a Spring Create-a-thon tomorrow (Friday, May 10)!

What is a Create-a-thon? A Create-a-thon is an event where I create artworks in my studio for 12 hours (9 am – 9 pm) and make them available for auction the following day. The works created during the Create-a-thon will be auctioned to raise money for my annual trip to BlogPaws, the best pet blogging event in the world, and my cats’ ongoing veterinary costs.

I was lucky to win a contest that covers my registration and room for the conference, and Embrace Pet Insurance is helping me with the travel. But there are always other expenses. Also, Slick has another vet visit when I return, so some extra cash for that will also be helpful.

Some of the artworks will be paintings, some drawings, and maybe a surprise or two.

Be watching my posts on Facebook and Twitter to see the works in progress throughout the day, and be ready to bid on Saturday!

By the way, if you have artwork currently on order, or you plan to attend the BlogPaws conference, there will be no shipping costs for any artwork you purchase from the Create-a-thon. I will either include it with your existing order free of charge, or I will deliver it to you at BlogPaws. These will all be artworks that can fit in a suitcase!

Happy bidding!
