The Museum set up our own mock gallery of Brud's painting. We had many community members who were very generous to let us borrow their paintings for our exhibit (Thank you!).

All through his life Clayter drew and painted landscapes, seascapes, portraits and more, preferring watercolors to other mediums. Though never formally trained, Brud had a natural talent and worked tirelessly perfecting his art. When asked where her father’s art studio was located, daughter Ruth replied, “The kitchen table.” Each evening after supper, Brud got out his watercolors and sat at the kitchen table doing what he loved best. While watercolors were his favorite, he did try working with oils. An oil painting of his father was one of his favorite works, but an attempt to paint a portrait of his mother in oils was unsuccessful. He could not capture her likeness to his satisfaction.
