The Spring Collection

You will be able to start bidding or using the 'Buy Now' option at 6:00pm Mountain Time! Before you start your bidding, please take a minute to read over the important information below so that there are no surprises during the auction or when the auction is finished! The Auction will end on Friday March 29th at 7:00pm Mountain Daylight Time.

All prices are in Canadian Dollars and I will be in contact with the winning bids at the close of the auction to discuss payment preferences and to send the official invoices. Most paintings are in their final stages of drying so please allow 1-2 weeks for shipping and tracking information to be sent.

1. The smaller paintings (up to and including 36"x48") will be shipped stretched over their wooden frames and will arrive ready to hang in your home. Pieces that are larger than 36"x48" will be shipped rolled up in protective tubing for safe transport and will need to be stretched over a new wooden frame at an Art Store or Frame Shop once received.

2. Taxes are included and Shipping will be $99 within Canada and $139 to the US. If you are International Collector please be advised that shipping will be calculated once your address has been provided so that proper quotes can be created. Typically International shipping for paintings off of their frames ranges from $250-$400 and shipping paintings on their frames ranges from $450 - $700.

3. All payments must be made within 3 days of the close of the online auction, and they can be made via E-Transfer, Paypal, or through any major Credit Card. I will be in contact at the close of the auction to find out which payment method you prefer and to send you an invoice for your new artwork.

4. To keep things easier across all time zones, I have enabled proxy bidding for this sale. A proxy bid allows you to enter the maximum amount that you are willing to spend on your painting of choice, and then it lets the system bid for you up to that exact amount. For example, if an item is currently selling for $10 and you enter a proxy bid of $50, the system will automatically keep up with bidding for you until the selling price goes over $50. At that point, you will be outbid and someone else will be the leading bidder. You will only owe the amount the system has bid for you which will never be more than your maximum proxy bid amount. This option is really fantastic for those of you who can't be near your computer at all times, or may be away at the close of the auction.

5. There is a 'Buy Now' option for each painting where the price is set at current market value. This enables you to buy the painting straight away and take it out of bidding contention immediately.

6. I am enabling the Extended Bidding option for this event as well. The Extended Bidding option automatically extends the end time of an item by 3 minutes when it receives a bid during the final 3 minutes of the sale. This process repeats until no new bids are received during the final 3 minutes of the item bidding window or the auction has been extended for a maximum of 30 minutes beyond the original end time. Again, this is in place to factor in all of the variables across different time zones and varying internet connections.

Also please note that all sales are final!

If you have any questions during the sale or if you would like more images of a certain painting, please don’t hesitate to email me at sarah@sarahmckendry.ca and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Have fun bidding everyone! I can't wait to see where these pieces of soul end up!

I am a mother, painter, wife, and author, living and working in Alberta, Canada, where I share a home with my wonderful husband and our two incredible boys. I first picked up a paintbrush in 2008, and since then, I've been on a self-taught journey through the intricate, challenging, and soulful world of self-expression. My wildlife and portrait paintings strive to capture the spirit with each brushstroke, while my landscapes evoke distant memories, bringing a sense of fresh air to the canvas.

My art has found homes and private collections across the globe, a fact that deeply humbles me as a self-taught artist. Alongside my painting, I have developed a product line of natural, Eco-friendly art supplies, created to make home-based studios safe and free from harsh chemicals. My teaching platform, which offers pre-recorded classes and an exclusive membership, allows me to share my passion for realistic landscapes, wildlife painting, and creative business insights with students around the world. Being able to weave my art into every part of my life while raising my children is a dream come true.

Thank you so much for being here!
