Art Auction at Patapsco High School

Natalie and I went to an art auction at Matthew's high school last night. It worked like a lottery or raffle. You buy a ticket, look through the art, and pick out a group of things you like. Then they put all the tickets in a hat and picked names at random. I got my first pick. It's kind of hard to describe but part of it is a photo of the general who defeated the British at North Point. Natalie picked an oil painting of tulips. There was also a silent auction and we put the only bids in on two oil paintings by a senior at the school. It was fun.

On Friday, Tom went to the Migration Skate Shop in Belair and entered a "S.K.A.T.E." contest. He broke his board in the final round but the shop lent him a board so he could finish. He skated the last round against a friend of his and Tom won. The prize for 1st place was a new skate deck.

Matthew and Natalie went to White Marsh mall last Saturday and this skateboard shop called Zumies was having an art contest. You had to paint the front of a hat and include the name of the store in it. They grabbed a blank hat and came home. Matthew painted a snow scene on it and they took it back to the store. A couple of hours later the store called and told him he won 1st prize - a $100 gift certificate.
