Sabrina,
This probably won't be of much assistance but someone else mentioned bringing a painting by Danyol to Andalu this week. Unfortunately, I can't find the thread containing that email in my queue. I know that you presented this idea several weeks ago but what I read was during this past week. I personally think that it is a good idea as it would take care of left over auction item in a location where the artist is present. I think if you brought it to the clinic when you are in SF as Kara suggested and posted a notice to both SLM groups to inquire if anyone is attending on the 13th, and asking whoever responds if they would mind bringing your painting along as well as possibly Kara's.
Yes it's a stretch but what's to lose?
