How Bidding Works

Auction FAQs
Can I bid if I don’t intend to purchase? No. Bidding is fun, but keep in mind that each bid you make is a binding contract to buy the item if you win. Please see our Terms of Service for more information.
Can I retract a bid? You can only retract a bid under specific circumstances. For example, if you meant to bid $100.00 but accidentally bid $10,000, you can retract the bid. Even then, you need to bid the amount you originally intended immediately. Never use bid retraction to manipulate the bidding process. Contact hello@victoriarosepark.com if you need to retract a bid.
Will my name and bid amounts remain anonymous during the auction? Yes. Your name will remain anonymous during bidding. Only Victoria Rose Park and her team will have access to your details once a bid is submitted.
What if I was immediately outbid? If you are outbid immediately after placing a bid, it’s likely that another bidder is using automatic bidding and has a maximum limit higher than yours. You’ll need to increase your maximum limit in order to be the highest bidder.

The story...
January 2024
This piece was inspired by a pasture near my home; a sanctuary I’ve visited over the last six years to pray, clear my mind, walk aimlessly, and find little treasures with my son. Sunrise is my favourite time to visit as the dawn is a powerful reminder that no matter how deep the darkness of the night, there is always hope in the morning to begin again.
I didn't know why this morning walk wouldn't leave my mind, I just knew I had to capture the feeling of hopefulness, which is what inspired this painting. Months later, when the painting was nearly finished, I realized just how significant that day was...
That morning walk was the same day we found out we were pregnant! This news came after trying for months following our miscarriage. Holding on to hope, instead of the fear of loss, has been a battle and what this scene represents to me has been a great comfort.
