Which Original Irish Painting to Auction for Charity?

As an thank you for my participation in the 2009 Irish Blog Awards at the very wonderderful Cork International Airport Hotel, there is an auction to benefit the charities associated with the ‘09 Awards.
I had wanted to give the winner of the auction a choice from one of these 5 paintings that were exhibited at [...]

Of Blog Awards and Paintings

This is not a review of the Awards; way too much happened and I’m way too tired to even begin to address a superb weekend. It’s understandable that those who aren’t present at the Awards focus on the results but the event is really about so much more. That is its strength, but I want [...]

Seventeen

For those waiting to see who won the latest free painting thing I ran, the answer to the question of how many paintings I exhibited at the Irish Blog Awards is 17.

Painting-in-Progress: Stone Cottage

Anyway since then it has advanced and is now only [...]

Free Painting #2 - Winner

For the 2nd painting giveaway here on Bicyclistic.com, I asked a question that, like the 1st question, was guessable but if you fancied doing some serious homework (or were a reader with a freakish memory of my site IrishKC) you’d have a better chance of getting closer to the answer.
