Raffle for a Stretched Canvas Giglee Print of Jennifer Kane's original commemorative oil painting of Galbraith Gap
$5 raffle
tickets are available now through January 27, 2012.
The winner will be drawn at "For the Love of Art & Chocolate".
Talented local landscape artist, Jennifer Kane, created a 30” x 40” commemorative original oil painting of the 152-acre property that ClearWater acquired in Galbraith Gap. In a new twist from past years, the original will be sold to benefit ClearWater Conservancy. This year's raffle will be for a 24"x32" Stretched Canvas Giclee Print of the original painting. Raffle tickets will be sold for $5 each this year, and all proceeds from both the raffle and the sale of the original painting will go to ClearWater's Operation Conservation campaign in support of future land conservation projects.
This is the fifth painting in a commemorative series of works by Jennifer Kane based on ClearWater’s conserved lands. The painting process included sketching, painting and photographing the subject on location, then creating a larger, 30”x40” piece in the studio over the next several months. The finished original painting is wired and has painted edges, ready to display.
