By Bonnie Driggers, Botanical Artists for Education & The Environment
If you are a botanical artist, you probably collect books about plants, drawing, and painting the way boys used to collect baseball cards. Have you ever wished for a copy of Anne-Marie and Donn Evans’ book, An Approach to Botanical Painting? You probably have priced this out-of-print and highly desirable book on Amazon and felt discouraged at the high cost even for used copies.
Someone just like you is going to win a brand new, autographed copy of
An Approach to Botanical Painting on October 28, 2012.
The Botanical Artists for Education & The Environment (BAEE) is a nonprofit organization in Falls Church, Virginia, and we are raising money to support publication of a new book of botanical paintings. Anne-Marie Evans has been teaching master classes in botanical art to our group since 2007. She inspired our project and has generously donated a copy of her classic book as the prize in a raffle. Visit our web site for details on how to enter. The winner does not have to be present at the drawing. Selling for $10 each, tickets will be available through our website at www.baeecorp.org.
We have many artists already enrolled in the project, and we are still accepting participants. Everyone who is eligible is encouraged to participate. The two requirements are that artists be members of ASBA or another botanical art organization and that they live or work in the mid-Atlantic region, defined rather broadly for our project to include New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina. Submissions of art will be due June 1, 2013. Please visit our website for more information on our project and to purchase raffle tickets.
