Earl Grenville Killeen - Mammoth Squid Auction

Mammoth Squid by Earl Grenville Killeen
Acrylic on mounted linen, framed
31½" wide x 44" high


     Earl Grenville Killeen is an accomplished artist, writer, and teacher.  He's the author of The North Light Book of Acrylic Painting Techniques, and his work has been featured in many publications, including articles in The Artist's Magazine and books such as Splash 3, showcasing "105 of America's Best Contemporary Watercolorists."  Earl's work in oil, acrylic, watercolor, and pen-and-ink has received awards in many exhibitions and in The Artist's Magazine Annual National Competition Issue, in which his watercolor, "Pelican", took First Place in the Still Life category.
     Earl has been a generous donor to the Shoreline Arts Alliance.  He contributed his artistic and organizational skills to the Alliance during its early years, most notably in founding the Future Choices Annual Juried Show for regional high school students in 1987 and sponsoring the Best in Show Award during the show's first twelve years.  This year Earl has established a Founder's Award for Future Choices, to benefit both a student and a teacher, and he has donated his acrylic painting, "Mammoth Squid", to the Shoreline Arts Alliance for our live auction to raise funds to support this organization and its programs.  If you choose to place the winning bid on this painting, you will have the double joy of empowering the Alliance in its mission to enrich our community as well as taking home a powerful work of art to enhance your home or office.
     The auction is part of a fun evening at Water's Edge Resort to support arts education on the Shoreline.  Please join us for our Mardi Gras Gala 2017 with Eight to the Bar on February 11.
