ebay:Monkey Love Painting by CREHORE-auction has ended

Hi all-

I will be taking part in a very unsual and exciting charity art auction sponsored by the Corey Helford Gallery in Culver City starting next weekend!
Don't miss! 100% of proceeds will go the the Children's Alliance.

Read about it here and see a preview of my painting (before and after):

http://amycrehore.blogspot.com/2007/01/my-charity-by-numbers-painting.html

All of the paintings will be on ebay available for bidding from Feb 10 to Feb 17, 2007!
100+ top artists!!!! Including Mark Ryden and Shag!
All are transforming vintage paint-by-numbers into original modern works of art.
Detail of my painting:

My painting is a pop surrealist Kon-tiki sort of image. :)

Amy,
Just went over to the link and spent the last 20 minutes on the first page!!! If you haven't visited the link-GO!!! NOW!!!!Some of these are incredibly beautiful,while some, like Jason Maloney's K Fed poodle had me rollin'! Great job on the Chinese junk piece! Those flowers on the tree are so right and perfect and totally compliment the one in her hair! Splendid piece!! It's always a hoot to paint over thrift store aquisitions!Banksy does some off the hook work in that genre! Thanks for givin us a Heads-up on this really great concept for a show! :)

You are welcome!

I need to go and look at all of the pieces in the auction, I went to bed after I found the link last night.

I'm sure the opening party at the gallery was wild down there last night in Culver City.

One thing: my blog has a better image of my painting than the auction site, for anyone who wants to see the details.

Thanks for your nice comments about the flowers, etc.
It was so much fun doing it.

More details of Amy Crehore Monkey Love painting for "Charity by Numbers" (ebay doesn't show very well, plus the face detail in my first post)

Some one was asking about the size of the paintings because the ebay site does not have that information. Mine is the size of a large FED EX box (then add the frame).

I think some are small and some are fairly large.

Here is the "before" picture:

Oh my, the nakedness. Some strong water up there in Ugene !!!!

I did not see this thread when it first appeared, and thus started another thread elsewhere about this charity auction.

I loved your painting Amy - it was one of my favorites of the entire auction. Thanks for contributing to a good cause - it is always a good thing when artists gather to help others. (Amy's painting raised $1750 for a worthy cause)

I was fortunate to be able to bid on and win a different Polynesian themed PBN, the one done by Rodney Alan Greenblat. His painting/alteration reminded me a bit of Mary Blair's stylings for Disney's 'It's A Small World', with the bright colors and primitive patterns presenting me with a visual shaman-ish thrill.

There are still many PBNs available as of Sunday noon, several with a current high bid price of under $200

Wonderful artist's interpretations. Looks like the auction went well...congratulations.

Thanks for your wonderful comments and I'm glad some people here were bidding in this unusual and fun charity auction.
Thanks for checking out my art.

I need to drink some more water now and paint. :)

Hey did anyone make out with any of the artwork? bidding for the biskup, ryden, and other populars went pretty high!

I actually beat the Biskup.
I was in the top twelve out of 99. :)
My buyer bought 3.

Here's the link to the results:

You'd be surprised just who collected some of them.
I figured out who bought Rydens and some of the others.

care to share? :wink:

care to share? :wink:

Just guessing really. I don't really know for sure.
And a lot of people were talking about which ones they bought over at the kidrobot.com forum (events).
