Gold Rush at Tiffany's - sold


9"x12" oil on linen mounted on board (Raymar)

California may claim to have happy cows (I know so, I used to live there!) but honestly these cows today at Jack Tiffany's farm in Lyme, CT where in heavenly bliss! HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY! The morning showers cleared up & blew over, the buttercups are swaying in the lush, green grass, birds are singing...and the "ladies in waiting" are mooing right along! Could it get any better than this day?

A large group of painters from the greater Lyme/Old Lyme area have been painting here on location for a fundraiser show & sale this weekend at Lyme Public Hall. For over a century artists have freely set up their easels on Rt. 156 in Lyme to paint the cows, fields, and barns of Tiffany Farms. Now we are hoping to help this working dairy farm through a rough financial patch by being part of this Plein Air Paint Out and Wet Paint Sale.

If you are in the area, please come to Lyme Public Hall on Friday June 8th - Sunday June 10th. Opening Reception is Friday 5-8pm and Saturday & Sunday hours are 11am to 4pm. Own a part of this areas' rich artistic & agricultural heritage and help to maintain it for the future. Hope to see you at the show!

This piece is framed in a carved mission/plein air style gold frame & is available for $495 at Lyme Public Hall, or contact me directly at (roxannesteed@gmail.com). Fifty percent of sale price goes directly to Jack Tiffany/Tiffany Farms.
