<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Calling all Wyland collectors and admirers. A
couple of years ago there was a Las Vegas trip for auction at the
Boardwaddle. We had to have it and timed our trip for a Wyland art show
out there. As a result of that trip we have a hand signed Wyland
lithograph up for pawction this year. For anyone not familiar with Wyland
he is the most prominent marine artist alive today. He is probably best
known for his Whaling Wall murals that dot much of this country, his 100th and
final one will be on the Great Wall of China this summer as part of the
Olympics. While his originals routinely sell for over 100K putting them
out of reach of everyone I know he has been prolific at producing editions of
his works and fills his galleries with them. The lithograph up for
pawction at the Boardwaddle was not and is not available for sale
anywhere. The only way to get this piece was to collect (buy) something in
his gallery. The only way to get one hand signed was to get the artist at
one of his shows to sign it. If you are not going to be at the Pawction
dinner Tri-State Basset Hound Rescue does a great job of taking proxy bids, all
you have to do is go to their website and let Kathy Riker spend your money for
you. There are a couple of other prints there that you should NOT bid on
as that will only increase my cost of owning them. Here is the link for
the Pawction just hit the enter button when you get there.</FONT></DIV>
