"Effervescence Hill" by Elizabeth Eby & Rindy O'Brien
Value: $250.00 Minimum Bid: $200.00
This is a mixed media piece. The champagne glass is anchored
by a fun sneaker and socks, hipsters on the hill. The Capitol floats
in the glass, and the champagne bubbles show icons of the hill
- a Sousaphone, a baseball, gingko leaves, Eastern Market, a
dog, an indoor swimmer, a plate of food, and a fish for the river.
The swizzle stick is the metro line.
"Hill Icons" by Tara Hamilton
Value: $400.00 Minimum Bid: $200.00
When I think of the Hill, I think of the parks and homes, Union
Station and of course, the Capitol which can be seen from many
vantage points in the neighborhood. This is a watercolor
rendering of the three.
"Chilly Day at Eastern Market" by Linda Norton
Value: $300.00 Minimum Bid: $250.00
I love color and there are few places more colorful on a chilly
day than the stalls at Eastern Market.
"Capitol Hill in Living Color" by Kay Fuller
Value: $400.00 Minimum Bid: $150.00
Capitol Hill is a beautiful blend of people, cultures, history,
politics and ideals. I took the reference photo for this painting
while walking in our diverse neighborhood. These colorful historic
homes, in the shadow our the United States Capitol, epitomize
"It's all here on The Hill".
"Not a Flower" by Karin Edgett
Value: $300.00 Minimum Bid: $175.00
Not a Flower, no,
This is a pink portal to
Another theory.
"Summer" by Karin Edgett
Value: $125.00 Minimum Bid: $45.00
Summer walnut tree,
Rain and wet humidity
High, strong, shady, green.
"Daffodils" by Rindy O'Brien
Value: $75.00 Minimum Bid: $50.00
This is a mixed media piece made from my photograph of
daffodils on the hill and construction paper houses intersecting
with streets. The gray and white stripes show we are neither
white or black, but in the middle gray. The Garden Club has
made bulbs available for years so that we celebrate spring.
"Four Panel Series" by Karin Edgett
Value: $175.00 Minimum Bid: $65.00
Cheery blossoms sing,
Crimsons, golds, playing, swimming
dance careless and free.
"Eastern Market" by Tara Hamilton
Value: $250.00 Minimum Bid: $150.00
Eastern Market is a regional destination, even a national and
international one, but it's a home base to those who live and
work on the Hill. It's where we go for food and entertainment or
just to take a walk. It's a part of life on the Hill. This is a
watercolor rendering.
"Stanton Park" by Tara Hamilton
Value: $200.00 Minimum Bid: $100.00
We are blessed with wonderful green space on the Hill. Parks are
part of the fabric of the community, even more so with the
burgeoning population of children and dogs! This piece shows
off the green space and the distinctive historic homes on the Hill.
This was done on iPad.
"Barracks Row II" by Kay Fuller
Value: $375.00 Minimum Bid: $100.00
Barracks Row II, the second of a series based on the things found
on 8th Street, SE, between Pennsylvania Avenue, and I Streets.
The once drug-infested street has gentrified into a thriving home
to restaurants and shops. You can find people walking the
sidewalks from early morning to late evening. It is where Capitol
Hill comes to shop, meet and eat.
"Culture is Here" by Sally Canzoneri
Value: $300.00 Minimum Bid: $125.00
The Hill Center at the Old Naval Hospital brings together a
wonderful mix of cultural activities, classes for all ages, and food -
in culinary classes and the Bayou Bakery. I got to know the Hill
Center when I had work shown there, and every time I go back, I'm
again impressed that the Capitol Hill community did such a great
job in preserving and restoring this historic building.
"Eats are Here" by Sally Canzoneri
Value: $300.00 Minimum Bid: $125.00
This is an image of the Western end of the historic Penn Theater
building. I know there are other uses in the building, but what I've
noticed most are the restaurants and food shops on the ground
floor. That and the lovely Art Deco style of the building.
"Home is Here" by Sally Canzoneri
Value: $300.00 Minimum Bid: $125.00
I'd been to a community arts fair in Potomac Park one day and came
home across the Sousa Bridge. I was struck by the neighborhood at
the Eastern end of Pennsylvania Avenue on Capitol Hill, and the mix
of older and newer housing. So I stopped to take some pictures. This
one is of a large new building. I liked the way the architecture echos
design features of historic buildings on the Hill.
