The Wildling Museum held a 15th anniversary celebration event that honored guest James “Bud” Bottoms with the Wilderness Spirit Award. The event raised funds for the museum and included a raffle of donated fine art.
One piece remains, however—an original Robert Wyland painting titled Ocean Colors—and the museum is currently offering the piece to the highest bidder. The piece features two humpback whales and a group of tropical fish.
Those interested can schedule a viewing by contacting the museum at 686-8216 or stacey@wildlingmuseum.org.
