Sihle and his friends beamed as they delivered the painting to its new owners. And rose and rose and rose…until Sihle could not believe his ears as the final bid was awarded. A quiet descended upon the room as John unveiled the piece. And certainly, a time which would stay in his memory bank for years to come.Įventually, lot number 9 was announced. It had been such a wonderful experience creating the painting. Everyone was so generous but would they really want an artwork done by amateurs? Sihle hoped so. The auction! He watched as various items were auctioned off. It gave the boys confidence and by the end of the interview, no one was nervous or shy anymore.įinally, the part of the evening which Sihle had been waiting for arrived. Everyone was listening and smiling at them. Feeling a bit nervous to speak in front of so many people, Sihle was glad that he would be on stage with his friends.
