Orchid Art Lottery to Aid Wildlife Male
Default Orchid Art Lottery to Aid Wildlife

Now is the time to buy a chance - or better yet, several! - on some limited edition orchid prints.


These framed and matted Vietnamese orchids prints are the last of a very limited edition published back in 1997 by Vietnamese painter B.X.Dáng. They measure 15″ x 18″ and are ready to hang.

I have sold dozens of sets over the years, and these were on my office walls for more than a decade, but I have decided to part with them and use the funds to support a local wildlife shelter.

These will be distributed via a lottery-type selection, with all funds received going to the Sea Biscuit Wildlife Shelter, here on Oak Island NC, who have recently purchased real estate to expand. Here’s how it will work:
  1. By “ordering” via our online shop, you are purchasing chances to win. Your purchase will not accrue Loyalty Points, discount codes cannot be applied, will not count toward purchase volume discounts, and is non-refundable. (I’m “eating” the payment transaction fees as it is…)
  2. You may purchase chances for either print – or both – for $10 each.
  3. You may purchase as many chances as you wish – more chances increase your odds of winning!
  4. At the end of the session – currently planned for the end of November, but may be terminated early or extended at our option – the winning order number will be drawn at random for each print.
  5. Open to anyone but shipping is only included to US addresses.

Thank you for considering helping this effort.

Default UPDATE

Response to this offer was quite good at first, but has quieted down significantly since, so rather than waiting longer, I plan on ending this offer tonight, will notifiy the winner(s) and ship the prints out tomorrow.

For those of you who purchased chances, THANK YOU for your generosity!

If you wish to join them and take a chance or two (or more), please do so today.

I want to extend a big thank you to the folks that participated. Today I handed over an $800 check and got to see the birds in Mary Ellen's care for the first time in quite a while.

We were greeted at the door by Stella, the great white egret. She's not a rescue, but knows that they get fed about 8 am and again about 5 pm, so she flies back in to freeload.



She moved enough to allow us in, where we got to see an adolescent pelican hobbling around after being treated for a fishhook in is foot that doesn't want to heal.

That's a worthy cause to be involved in, Ray. I'm glad your orchid art lottery resulted in such a nice donation.
