Sunbury Shores Art and Nature Center Fund Raiser

For the second year, Sunbury Shores Art and Nature Centre, in St Andrews, NB, CA held a secret raffle as a fund raiser event for the Center. Artists and Celebrities are asked to donate a piece of art measuring six inches by eight inches. They hold the event on the first Saturday of October and provide music and refreshments for the folks as they browse the paintings prior to the raffle. You pay ten dollars to get in and this gives you one ticket in the drawing. Additional tickets can be purchased. No art is signed so it is a mystery as to who did what. As your number is drawn, you may chose a painting from the remaining ones on the display. If you chose a painting, an additional $90 is required to obtain it. Famous Canadian artists such as Robert Bateman and other public figures such as humorist, Dave Barry, donated pieces that are worth considerably more than $100 due to their notoriety as artists or public figures. You just have to guess who did what and take a chance.  Lots of fun. 

The above piece was my contribution for this year.

Here are the rest of the paintings:
