At a recent Ducks Unlimited dinner/auction event, held in Old Town Manassas, Virginia, an Allan Guy oil painting of Crooked Run Valley went for top dollar, raising much needed funds to help preserve local wetlands.
Ducks Unlimited is a premier organization in terms of preserving wetlands nationally and internationally. The Manassas chapter of DU is a top fund raiser in the VA Commonwealth. Artwork of all types are high ticket auction items, raising funds for this worthy cause.
In this case, A. Guy Studio's oil painting was done on prepared Molvin d' Arches 100% cotton rag, cold pressed watercolor paper. It shows the view from a hillock on Valley View Farm, overlooking the headwaters of Crooked Run Valley, on the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains, near Paris, Virginia. The farm is owned by the Carter-Strother family, of Philip Carter Winery, who generously donated to this event in many ways.
The painting was purchased by, and is in the art collection of, Councilman Wallace Covington, of Prince William County, Virginia.
