LA Art Exchange Auction

I helped out today at the LA Art Exchange Auction. It was quite an experience. I had never been to a live auction before, and the pace of it was both exhilarating and exhausting. I was one of three "runners" collecting payment from buyers, and we were kept very busy. A lot of work sold, including one of my paintings, pictured above, and collectors went home happy with their new purchases. The auction was webcast through eBay's Live Auctions website, and there were even online bidders. Jonathan Holiday was the auctioneer, and he did an incredible job of keeping everyone's energy and enthusiasm up for four hours non-stop. The entire event was fascinating, and I'm so glad I had the opportunity be a part of it.
