Signed Stephen portrait in charity auction on Ebay

[rosemary]

I've just listed a charity auction for a signed Stephen Gately portrait on Ebay. It was painted, from a photograph, by my husband's aunt, Dawn Taylor, who is a professional artist, and donated by her for the auction (she normally charges up to £300 for commissions!). 100% of the final winning bid will go to Pancreatic Cancer UK. Stephen has given his full approval for the auction. He signed the mount at the picnic. The portrait is ready-framed.

The link to the listing is cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140029502013

I'm hoping for some generous bids and a nice donation to the charity, so thanks in advance to anyone here who decides to bid!

I've just added the second signed portrait of Stephen to Ebay, As before, all profits from the auction will go to Pancreatic Cancer UK.

There is no reserve on the portrait this time but I'm hoping for generous bids, as for the first one. This one is unframed but has a mount to help protect it. Obviously the winner will be able to change the mount if they wish and not having a frame, with glass, will make it less expensive to post. Stephen's autograph is on the portrait itself.

I look forward to some healthy bidding and wish those who do bid good luck. I also thank everyone who takes part in the auction. So, thanks and good luck everyone! If you have any questions about the auction, please feel free to contact me.
