MAYFACS 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY - ORIGINAL ART AUCTION - BIDDING CLOSES 26TH JULY AT 8PM
Our inaugural art auction with pieces of original art kindly donated by talented local artists to MAYFACS to raise funds for the charity.
All items to be collected from Mayfield, or delivery can be arranged at additional cost to buyer.
Proxy bidding information;
When bidding on an auction item, if you enter more than the
minimum increment for an item then your bid will be used
for proxy bidding. This is how it works:
1. You enter the absolute maximum that you are willing to bid for an item.
2. jumblebee places a bid on your behalf, using the minimum amount required to
make you the highest bidder, i.e. current bid price plus bid increment OR the
reserve price, if there is one and it can be covered by
your proxy bid.
3. jumblebee continues to bid on your behalf, whenever you are outbid by
another member's bid, until your maximum bid is exceeded or the auction is won.
4. jumblebee will notify you by email if your maximum bid is outbid by another
member and provided the auction is still running, you will then have a chance
to enter a new maximum bid if you wish.
For example:
The current bid on an auction item is £100. The minimum increment is £10. You
enter a bid of £150 (your maximum bid).
Using your bid, but increasing only by the minimum increment, jumblebee sets
the current bid to £110.
Another person bids £130 but they are immediately outbid by jumblebee bidding
on your behalf and the current bid goes up to £140.
The auction finishes and you have won the auction item at a price of £140.

Oil on linen Painting 30cm x 40.5cm (Framed size 33 x 43)
Inspired by long hikes through Cuckmere Haven and the Seven Sisters, the painting evokes the tranquillity of this timeless landscape, as the Cuckmere river gently winds it's way through the flood planes and down to the sea.
“Drawn to the natural world, I paint mainly in oils in a loose and impressionistic style. My work is a reflection of my fascination with the interplay of light and shadow. From the delicate beauty of a flower in bloom, to the raw power of a stormy sky, I find inspiration in the rhythms of nature.”
Kindly donated by HAWLEY Catherine

Acrylics on paper Dimensions: 28cm x 38cm (framed 45cm x 55cm) The bright colours of Autumn leaves have been depicted in an abstract way. It is intended to evoke warmth and the joy of nature.
Estimated market value £75 My work is mainly portraiture which are commissions in chalk pastel. My aim is to really capture the individual's personality whether human or animal. Other paintings produced include a variety of subjects usually taken from life or sourced from my own photos. I take inspiration from my travels abroad and in the UK. I work with chalk or oil pastel, acrylics, oils, watercolour and gouache. My knowledge and techniques are expanding all the time - in recent months I have been experimenting with oil painting and abstracts and I enjoy the challenges that this brings. http://www.cbm-art.co.uk
