Painting up for bids at library fundraiser

EAGLE LAKE — A painting by a local artist who rubbed shoulders with a Hollywood legend and worked in the aircraft industry will be included in a silent auction to raise funds for the Eula & David Wintermann Library.

The gold-framed oil painting by the late Eagle Lake artist Marilynn Dannels depicts a delicate pink-and-blue floral design that draws attention to “magnificent white magnolias,” according to a release from the Eula & David Wintermann Friends of the Library.

The artwork is open fo bids during the Friend’s silent auction and dinner to benefit the library, scheduled for Sept. 23 in the Eagle Lake Community Center, 100 N. Walnut Ave.
