Dudley Farm Paint Out - Auction Update

Auction Update
I have been asked to post an update of bids on the miniature oil painting. So, each Wednesday I will let you know what the highest bid is as of that day up to the deadline day. The highest bid amount will be posted under the painting image. Remember, this is a fun way to add a little painting to your own collection or pick up a couple to give as gifts.
Dudley Farm Plein Air Event
The Dudley Farm Plein Air Event officially begins tomorrow, Thursday, March 12, but I took a ride up there yesterday to take a look around and paint a couple of layins. The farm is really neat!! ("neat" is really showing my age, no one uses that word anymore, at least according to my grandchildren). Turn of the century buildings from the old farm house to the wash house, turkeys strutting their stuff, chickens in the yard and vegetables in the garden just popping their heads out of the soil---everywhere you look is a painting waiting to happen.

Give yourself a treat and visit the farm this weekend. The azaleas (obviously) and dogwood trees are in bloom, the redbud trees are budding and the oaks are bright green with new leaves.
All the volunteers at the farm will be in period dress "doing chores" and 20 plus artists will be working to capture the scenes.


Dudley Farm, Newberry, Florida

You can buy paintings right off the easel, in the wet room or at the Reception Sunday afternoon.
A portion of the sales go to Florida's Eden to educate and support the natural beauty of Florida.
