Hey art lovers! ♥

I'm very excited to tell everyone about the new items being auctioned off to benefit Alex's Lemonade Stand. There will be a series of three original drawings by Lina Zol. Who is Lina Zol, you say? Well, she is a SELF TAUGHT up and coming artist who works with pencil and charcoal to create amazing renditions of our favorite Twilight characters! Her knack for realism astounds me!


This is Lina's description of the first piece she will be auctioning off:

"This original drawing, inspired by the movie Twilight, features Edward and Bella at the prom anticipating the movie's final kiss. Pain and love are evident on Edward's face as he is about to kiss the woman he loves, but fears he will never truly have. Bella is filled with hope and anticipation as she waits to taste his kiss."



Isn't it just absolutely beautiful?

This auction only has less than 4 days (Edit - 2 days now!) left so you might want to start bidding or watch this puppy like a hawk before it's snatched up by the highest bidder!

Please go to the ebay auction here for details and to place your bid.


And, coming in the next couple weeks she will also be auctioning off these pieces in her Twilight series:


Edward Restaurant Scene


Jasper Hale



Lina also has a new website. It is a work in progress, but you can view more of her artwork there: linazolcreations.com

You can also view Lina's Facebook page here: Lina Zol

Remember, all proceeds from these auctions will go directly to Alex's Lemonade Stand. To learn more about our TwilightMOMS Official Charity go here: http://twilightmoms.net/viewtopic.php?f=126&t=23750

I'm thinking Lina is going to make it big time, she will also be selling some of her prints at TwiCon this year, so wouldn't it be cool to own one of her first original signed pieces and give to a worthy cause? That's a big YES!!!.

Don't forget to place your bid on this auction and stay tuned next week for auction number #2, the Edward Restaurant Scene.

Happy Bidding!

I am in awe of her work!! What a talented lady!!! No doubt she will become known very fast in the art world!!

Thank you so much Britten for posting such a stellar review!!! I was honored to be asked to contribute to this amazing cause. I am currently working on Emmett, followed by Jacob and Alice to complete my Twilight collection. Signed and numbered prints will be available at Twicon, so stay tuned.
Lisa, thanks so much, from your mouth to G-d’s ears. I would like nothing better than to do this full time!

It is absolutely beautiful! I wish I could bid, but I don't have that kind of money. Good luck and congrats in advance to whoever wins such a beautiful piece of art!

Wow, just WOW...you are uber-talented!!! Those drawings are simply amazing!!!

Thank you so much for the compliments! I put all of myself into my artwork, so its good to hear they are being appreciated!

YAY Lina!!!!

I have seen Lina's work first hand, she is a phenomenal artist. She captures all the emotions and features of every subject she draws. I agree, she is definitely on her way to bigger and better things in the art world

Aww! thanks Gabby!!!

you haven't just seen my artwork, LOL! you own it

Lina, I came to log on to TMs and was captivated by what I saw. I think my heart stopped and I had to catch my breath at the beauty of your art. I quickly clicked on the "here" word and came to this thread and saw that you had done more.
How beautiful. The renditions are truly captivating.
How I wish I could bid.


Yes, I see what you mean. I can feel the emotion of her subjects. I can only imagine seeing them up close, rather than through this thread.

Lina, I'm just excited to be able to say one day that "I knew her when..." And also to show off amazing pictures I commissioned you to draw.

The Edward in the restaurant is still my favorite. Maybe you should do the hospital scene where he kisses her forehead. Or where he says, "I'm here." Or, "Where else am I gonna go?"

Okay, I need to stop dreaming now. Love you Lina!

What beautiful work you do! Thank you so much for sharing....I love them all but Edward in the restaurant is my favorite. What a talent you have....I wish you all the best!

Wanda

WOW! What amazing talent she has. I'm going to check out her site.

You ladies are making me blush

Nichole...is that you??

Yes. That's me. And I have to say, you did the restaurant Edward I was hoping for to perfection, so if you decide to go for the hospital Edward I wouldn't be bummed about it.
