"Leo"
Original oil painting on lifelike 42" fiberglass mannequin
Excerpt from June 2006 Ranger Review: "The 20 large paddlefish
brought in a total of $11,800
with local artist Annie Feist's "Leo" bringing the top bid of $2000."
All paddlefish and silent-auction items for "Hooked On Paddlefish" were
on display at the Makoshika Park Visitor Center during the annual
"Buzzard Day" festivities. After the Buzzard Day events concluded,
"Hooked on Paddlefish" paintings were moved to downtown Glendive to the
Elks Lodge for the auction event which began the evening of Saturday, 10
June, 2006.
The
"Hooked on Paddlefish" event began at 6:30PM with a No-Host social.
Silent-auction closed at 7:30 PM and the live auction commenced.
Attendance was "free" to the public and the auction was very well
attended by local Glendive residents and many visitors. Proceeds from
this event was used to reduce the debt on
DCAU/
The Gallery's new and permanent home at 109 N. Merrill, and for
remodeling projects at
The
Gallery.
