Water tank near Oamaru, oil on canvas, 150 x 110cm
‘This painting was auctioned at the Dunedin Townhall, on Friday 1st September, as part of the main fundraising event for the Dunedin office of the Cancer Society. Amid the bidding war that ensued from the 3 interested tables, the hammer fell on $21,000, achieving a new record price at a charitable event for one of my artworks. It was quite exciting.
The total result was over $117,000 raised I’m told. A terrific result thanks to Emma Anderson and all the team. Congrats on putting together a great event. Everyone was having good fun from what I could see.’
