Oil Painting of Quito

Our dear friends and missionaries in Ecuador, The Pineiros Family, donated this amazing painting for us to auction to raise money for our adoption expenses. The painting is a 25.5" X 40" original oil on canvas. It is a painting of Historic Downtown Quito. You can see the beautiful mountains and snowcapped volcano in the background. The pictures do not do this painting justice. It really is beautiful and full of detail. 

Here is the sweet story of the painting from Denise: "It's oil and canvas from a pretty well known artist in Quito. Every Sunday, there's a park where the artists take their work, and display it. The park is called El Ejido. When we went to find it, we had a budget of what we could spend on the painting. We fell in love with this one, but it was slightly out of our price range. When the man displaying the paintings heard M's story, he pulled out the amount of the difference from his own pocket and added it to our cash. He said "this is for love, this is for M."

The bidding will begin at $100.00. The auction will run from now until April 22, 2013 at 9:00 pm. To bid on the painting, you can comment on this blog post. If you have trouble commenting, you can email me privately. If the winning bidder needs the painting shipped, the bidder will pay the shipping charges. 

Added Bonus: We were recently awarded a matching grant from Brittany's Hope. The winning bidder can make the donation check for the winning bid to Brittany's Hope and it will be Tax Deductible!!!!
