Title: A4 size portrait, mounted and framed - Donated by Yasmin Coleman Portraits
Post by: Sam (Fussy_Furball) on November 20, 2011, 15:47:44 PM: This is a really special auction prize.

Yasmin says .... I have been drawing informal portraits professionally since 1995 and over the years I have exhibited with groups and individually in a variety of locations. I especially enjoy drawing wild and domestic animals, although I have also been commissioned to draw people, buildings and cars.

We have on offer an A4 portrait mounted and framed.

The winner will have to provide Yasmin with pics of the subject and will laso need to pay for postage and packing (approx £7.50) This P&P is not included in the purrs total .. it is to be paid to Yasmin.

Obviously due to nature of this prize you won't be getting it before Xmas for Yasmin has promised to get it to the winner as quickly as possible.

To get an idea of Yasmins work please check out her website ..... http://yasmincolemanportraits.wordpress.com/

Yasmin would normally charge £95 for this type of commission so please bid generously.

PLEASE NOTE The portrait would just be for the one cat. If you would like two together and you win the auction you can negotiate for the extra puss and Yasmin would donate some of the extra fee to Purrs. Yasmin x

Starting price £20

PICTURE IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF THE TYPE OF THING YOU CAN WIN:

Post by: Tiggy's Mum on November 20, 2011, 15:50:16 PM: Wow!

Do you know if the portrair can be of more than one subject eg two cats in one portrait? Edit: I would like to point out I did read the listing before asking this, Sam edited the original one after I posted this :naughty: ;)

Thanks Yasmin, I already have a portrait of Lu so by rights it should be Riley if I win this - depends if I'm tough enough to choose between them though :evillaugh: Saying that I've got a gorgeous pic in mind if I won and paid the extra for a double...
