Periodically, the Portrait Society of America hosts an auction of 6x9 paintings as part of the annual Art of the Portrait Conference. The paintings are sold for a flat rate of $250 each, and the proceeds go towards supporting the Society, where they are set aside for such causes as providing scholarships to young artists seeking participation in future conferences. These images are from the roughly 100 donated paintings and sculptures sold at the 16th annual Art of the Portrait Conference held this year, from April 24th through the 27th, in Reston, Virginia.
