I once sold an oil painting by James Stark and pencil drawings by Henry Moore. Some of the biggest names in the art world have passed through the doors of Barnes Auctioneers over the years and no doubt will continue to do so (check out, by the way, the Margaret Morris painting in our forthcoming sale https://sites.google.com/site/barnesauctioneersnorwich/latest-news ). But, I have never (and never expected) to offer for sale at auction an original watercolour by a penguin.
Yes, that's Dimi the Penguin (above), one of the stars at the Hunstanton Sea Life Centre with his creation. And what a beautiful picture it is too - very Andy Warhol.
The idea is to raise much needed funds for the charity and we hope that our animal-loving bidders will be out in force when the painting is sold at our auction on Sunday.
LOT 1 - Original watercolour by Dimi the Humboldt Penguin Est £100-£150
