Me and Carly Sheil painted wildlife-themed works to fundraise for an animal conservation organization dear to our hearts: Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC). This is because donations made until June 30th are doubled (up to a total of $2,000,000)! Can you help us raise $400 by sharing or bidding below?! 🙌
About my Artwork: ✨🪶✨
I painted 'Merry King Kookaburra', a mixed media acrylic 12"x12" painting on canvas of a native Australian kingfisher species. When I was little I loved singing the Australian nursery rhyme about this "laughing" bird with my mom - turns out she remembers the lyrics better than I do! Australian wildlife has been precious to me since I was a child and learned about so many completely unique animals there.
About the Auction: ✨🔨✨
If you'd like to bid on my physical painting, comment below (I'm posting this on Facebook, Cara, Deviantart, Mastodon, and Instagram, so I'll keep the top bid up to date across all platforms).
Comment on Carly Sheil 's post to bid on their work instead (or as well)! Please consider shipping costs in your bid if you can (Carly Sheil is in Queensland Australia, James Talon is in Texas USA).
The winner will be the last bid at 8pm Monday, June 24th CST (12pm Tues 25th AEST) , at which point you'll need to send your donation to the artist whose work you won the bid on (you will be bidding on each work separately so you can choose one or both) and we will send 80% of the profit to AWC.
About Donating: ✨💰✨
- If you'd rather donate directly to AWC, send a screenshot below or to one of us in DM and we'll send you a full print-size download of both of our paintings.
