PORTRAITS of Billy Connolly and Elvis Presley are among the artworks going up for auction to raise money for the Robin House children's hospice in Balloch.

Children's Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS) is joining forces with 30 of Scotland's finest artists for an online art sale.

Half of the money raised will go to CHAS, and the other half to the artist who created the work - though some of the artists involved have already agreed to donate all of the proceeds to the charity.

Some of the work up for sale in the CHAS auction include pieces contemporary pop-art painter Stuart McAlpine Miller, striking portraits of Billy Connolly and Elvis Presley by Clydebank’s Les Donaghy, Sky Arts’ Portrait Artist of the Year contender Aine Devine, and Edinburgh based landscape painter Vibha.

Paintings created by some of the children helped by CHAS at Robin House, and its sister hospice, Rachel House in Kinross, are also up for sale.

Diane Alton, events manager for CHAS, said: “We are very grateful to all of these fantastic artists for their involvement in our auction and for submitting such truly stunning pieces of art.

"It is particularly poignant that we can offer this auction online. Art therapy plays a big part in the hospices and our activities team spend lots of time with children and families to create lasting memories.

“Not only will buyers be investing in a beautiful piece of art, they will have the added feel-good factor that their purchase has made a difference to the lives of CHAS families across Scotland. It’s a win-win.”

The artworks included in the auction range in price from £20 to £4,000. Bidding ends on Friday, July 18.
