Local master artist Vernon Finney recently returned from New York City, where he attended a charity gala and auction.
The 'Bible in Hispanic America Gala' was held on 19th September,
hosted by the American Bible Society (ABS) at the historic Tavern on
the Green in Central Park. The event was attended by local, national
and international religious and community leaders as well as local
celebrities.
Featured at this event was a special edition of Vernon Finney's "Genesis; Seven Days of Creation". Telling the story of Creation in 7 detailed panels (one for each day), the original stands 4 feet tall and over 21 feet long.
Also featured were Finney's "The Creator"; and his latest masterpiece "The Madonna and Child", which stands 6 feet wide by 7 feet tall and shows the Crucifixion from the mother's point of view.
An auction of donated artworks, presided over by Sotheby's, saw all three of Vernon Finney's pieces sold. At the end of the auction, Vernon was called to the stage and received a standing ovation from the attendees.
At age 83, Vernon Finney has been painting for over 60 years with no plans to slow down.
