Oil paintings by Abbey Ryan

My oil painting and ink painting (below) will be available today and tomorrow, December 10th and 11th, in a Silent Auction at Arcadia University -- my alma mater and where I teach. You may recall that Arcadia is where I conduct my annual Live Painting Demos in Grey Towers Castle (which was designed in 1893 by Horace Trumbauer, the famous architect who also designed the Philadelphia Museum of Art among many other historic buildings).

100% of the proceeds from this Silent Auction will go to Arcadia's upcoming Campaign for the Arts to raise funds for a new art building.

I am sharing this event because the starting bids begin at 25% of the value of the Buy It Now price.

If you would like to submit a minimum/maximum bid (or Buy It Now) for these, let me know and I will convey it to the Silent Auction organizers. I can certainly assure you that this is a professional quality event.
