Portrait of Sudanese Girl to be Auctioned October 1 on Ebay

[Alexandra Tyng]

Enzie, good luck on your auction results--and thank you so much for posting all your suggestions. It's good to have your proactive mind working for the benefit of others. It's my hope that artists can think of more ways to use the "power" of portraiture.

Thanks Alex ! I couldn't agree more with what you said:

It's my hope that artists can think of more ways to use the "power" of portraiture.

Although I am sure that there are already a lot of portrait artists who use their skills for these type of benefits, the internet is just another venue to try out.

When I started looking into this I really had no clue what I was doing and learned through trial and error. Hopefully someone else can improve on this and have even better auction results. Although I am still hoping to raise a fortune! LOL

The auction brought in $290 dollars and the painting is on it's way to England!

A lot of really good publicity for the crisis in Darfur has been generated and I am pleased with the results, already thinking of the next fundraiser!
