| Thanks to the site owner for allowing me to post on here! I am the Wolverhampton Wanderers programme cover artist this season & for each match am painting an away as well as a home player. Each of the two paintings are signed on the day of the match by the respective players. We then create a bespoke mount & frame to auction for charity (Cure Leukaemia, Race Against Blood Cancer, YMCA Black Country & Good Shepherd Ministry Wolverhampton share the proceeds). The first two auctions this season raised in the region of £12,000. The third is now live (closes Sunday 17 February at 9pm) & includes my painting of Wilfried Zaha (pic below) used on the Wolves v Crystal Palace cover on 2 January, 2019. Here is a link to the auction for anyone interested: [Link]

 Maybe Steve P will put a bid in and have this in the Red and Blue with the other art work on the walls?

| It's interesting how much these watercolours have gone for as the pricing is very inconsistent. Christopher Schindler went for £235 whilst Matt Doherty went for £1,215 Wilf's picture is currently at £401 but with six days to go I'm sure that it will go higher than that As the father of a daughter who has been clear of leukaemia for ten years now I agree that it's a great cause

In our first auction, the signed painting of Ashley Barnes went for £990, yet in the last auction the signed painting of Eden Hazard went for just over £500. Pep Guardiola & Ruben Neves the top two to date, fetching £1385 & £1380 respectively. Thanks for your encouragement; appreciated.
