The Gingerbread House is no more. We had a Gingerbread House eating party yesterday and Lincoln and Jed invited their friends Ordo and Dixie to come help them.

They had a great time and ate loads of gingerbread house, especially the roof with the milk bones.

Make a Trip to Buggy B’s in Strasburg

I’m thrilled to have my work in Strasburg, VA, at Buggy B’s, a great little shop with furniture, flowers, and finishings! It’s at 239 E. King Street. Stop in next time you are in Strasburg or better yet, make a trip over to see the store. It’s worth the trip.

You can see part of my “Big Fruit” series in one photo right above the wine. Did I mention they have wine?!

So many new artists!

A few weeks ago we started a Wednesday morning art class and I had several new students join me in their quest to learn to paint. And look at the great job they are doing. If you would like to paint remember that we meet on Wednesday mornings at 10:30 or Wednesday or Thursday evenings from 5:30-7 p.m. Just email me if you are interested at kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com. Hope to see your painting soon.

This little girl came into the shop sometime last year and I took a few photos. I finally got around to painting her and am adding it to the Bark for the Park series.

Tammy’s Otis

Tammy’s Otis, acrylic on 12″x12″ canvas. This little beauty is a rescue that belongs to my friends Tammy and Tim. He’s a lucky fellow because I think she treats her babies as good as I do.

Fancy, the German Short Hair Pointer Pup and Jade!

Meet Fancy. She’s a German Shorthair Pointer pup that belongs to some friends. I met her yesterday and you talk about cute!!!! She oozes cute.

Now meet Jade. Fancy is a member of her family and she wanted to paint a picture of her for her mom. We met yesterday for a lesson and she came up with this terrific painting! Great job!

And while Jade is only 7 years old, she is such a sweet and mannerly girl that she brought me a wonderful thank you note before we even started our painting. Adorable!

Ducks…

The Thursday young artists painted this impressionist’s version of a white duck. They did a great job with the shading, not an easy task. Way to go Logan and Mia!
