A Girl, a Cow and Some Paint

Even if you have known me a long time, you may not know how my painting journey began or how it relates to being a dairy farmer who grew up in the Bronx. I will reveal all but not all at once, so you may want to stay tuned for the whole story.

There is a relationship in there somewhere but suffice it to say that this month I am celebrating that relationship by doing something for Farm Animal Rescue of Mifflinburg, a nonprofit organization that provides or locates permanent homes for unwanted farm animals while promoting humane treatment of animals. Won’t you help me in this worthwhile endeavor?

I will participate in Selinsgrove Fine Arts Stroll again this year and my paintings will be on display at Emma’s Food for Life, 11 South Market Street Selinsgrove.  The paintings will be on display all month Emma’s is open Tuesday - Saturday, 11:00 AM - 9:00 PM and Sunday from 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM

A portion of the proceeds of the sale of any painting will go to Farm Animal Rescue. Some of the paintings will be silent bid and some for outright sale. But that’s not all. Once a week, I will feature a painting through my newsletter and on Facebook that will go up for auction to the highest bidder. 50% of the proceeds of those paintings will go to FARM. But wait! I’m so excited about the good that we can do that anyone who likes and shares my Facebook posts and signs up for my newsletter will be entered into a weekly drawing for one of my 6x8 original paintings. If you can help me spread the word about FARM, I would like to reward you!

So here is what you can do:

1. Come to Emma’s Food for Life and buy or bid on one of the paintings on display there. Tell them that I sent you.

2. Bid on the weekly painting offered for sale through my blog. Sign up for the newsletter and follow me on Facebook so that you don’t miss any of the offerings or free paintings.

3. Donate to FARM  here
