"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.
