BIG NEWS BIG NEWS BIG NEWS
some really amazing news i had to share with you peeps
Today a really good friend of mine came to my house while i was actually on my way to Seven Kings.. going to see family.. but anyway... he came to my house and wanted to take a few paintings which he was going to auction at St Georges Hospital/isoc etc UK so his intentions were to take around two or three and auction them and ended up taking 7 paintings of mine.. to use the rest for display..
So while that was going on.. I was meeting my mother at aunts house in Seven Kings to see the brother who is helping me out at GPU, he lived close by.. Gants Hill I think it was.. so alhamdulillah thats going all smoothly iA.. which is cool
Then about half an hour later I got the amazing news... the auction had gone on for around 2 hours and the brother from St Georges hospital rang me to tell me, well he goes the good news or the bad news., I say bad news first and he replies there is non.. then the good news..
Are you ready for this haha.. hold on to your seats.. hahaha cos i nearly fainted.. but i survived..
From the 7 paintings he took and originally only wanting to auction 2 or 3 of them.. in the end they auctioned all of them and i was ecstatic.. like wow omgosh... so subhanAllah i though wicked they must have made a few hundred pounds.. all money was for charity but i was wrong.. i was waaaaayyyyyy offf..
They raised (now take a deep breath) you ready.... £3000............ :blink: :blink: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... :wow: :wow: :wow:
you got that right.. THREE THOUSAND POUNDS.. and i was seriously in major shock.. :wow: :wow: and alhamdulillah.. from that he handed out a few of my cards and now I have another 10 orders or so.. :dance: :dance: :dance:
and honestly i dont have the time to do them :lol: .. but i will soon iA..
But thats the big news.. 7 paintings of mine were able to raise £3000 for charity.. unfortunately i couldn't be there.. but i would have loved to see it happen.. i had other business to attend to as you know..
But SubhannAllah all I can do is thank Allah for guiding me and giving me the opportunity to do something so small for something so big..
I am over the moon.. my hearts pumping like mad.. this is where I feel like becoming a full time artist haha.. but there you are peeps..
iA hope you liked the good news everyone..
And i have only ever auctioned a painting for charity once before and that was also good but it was a while ago..
But seriously peeps.. iA.. im going to be working on some more auction pieces iA. in the future.. when i told my family and parents.. they were like :blink: :blink: wow
