PREVIEW
Robin Braun’s Blue Sky with Wave, Chincoteague, Virginia, originally priced at $6,000, will have a starting bid of $2,000. Braun’s paintings of the ocean portray both storms and tranquility. Braun states: “I hope that my paintings can convey some of the violence and stillness, beauty and spectacle, of both the storms and the calm. The painting is beautiful in person and a wonderfully calming piece to add to any collection.
The auction begins at 10 am on Tuesday, April 21, and will end at 9 pm. To bid on the work, see our Instagram stories on Tuesday and send us a direct message. If you don’t have Instagram but would like to bid, send us an email at page@pagebondgallery.com.

One of the strongest non-profit organizations in Richmond helping to feed people during the COVID 19 pandemic is the Feed More Fund. With multiple programs, they are able to feed seniors, children, those experiencing homelessness, and those who have been furloughed or have lost their jobs. We are especially interested in supporting the work that they do for children who are now out of school and don’t have access to school lunches. Here is more information from Feed More:
Feed More collects, prepares and distributes food to neighbors in need throughout Central Virginia. With a service area that stretches across 34 counties and cities, Feed More’s comprehensive programs and network of more than 270 agencies help ensure our communities have access to healthy meals year round. With 1 in 7, or more than 47,000 children in Central Virginia not receiving the necessary nutrition, Feed More’s program like the Kids Cafe, School Market and weekend Back Pack program help ensure kids and teens across our region have the healthy meals they need to learn, grow and thrive.
