The auction of Frank Loudin’s original watercolor paintings will close at 6 p.m. on December 5. This will be your LAST CHANCE to purchase one of Frank’s wonderful works of art, whether it’s an original piece, or one of the selected prints available. There are still some real bargains to be had, with current bidding well under the original prices for several items.
Join the Visual Arts Committee, Frank and his wonderful wife, Jan, at Orcas Center on Sunday, December 5. You’ll be able to make the final/winning auction bid – and take the painting home with you to enjoy for the holiday season and beyond. Come and delight in holiday cheer with refreshments, incredible art and great stories from Frank, whose anecdotes are filled with everlasting humor and charm.
So far, thanks to Frank’s generosity, not only have over 25 of his pieces found new homes, over $20,000 has been raised in partnership with the Orcas Center.
