More on the Van Gogh Experience

September 21, 2021 by kellywalkerstudios

Van Gogh – The Immersive Experience in Washington DC was an interesting show. Here is a video to give you an idea of what it was like to be surrounded by his painting, projected all the way around the room and coming to life.

Van Gogh-The Immersive Experience

September 21, 2021 by kellywalkerstudios

Yesterday I went to see the Van Gogh Immersive Experience in Washington DC. It was very interesting…unlike any exhibit I have ever seen. Normally at an exhibit you see the paintings of an artist but at this you see copies of Van Gogh’s works and information about his life. And then you actually sit in a large room surrounded by his works projected on the walls all around you. You feel like you are inside his works. VERY DIFFERENT!

Joy Paints Lily

September 18, 2021 by kellywalkerstudios

Joy has been painting with me at The Studio for a long time. She loves her painting sessions and tells me that she paints to make others happy. She almost always is painting something for a family member or friend. Her portrait of Lily is for her niece. I’m sure that Lily’s mom will be thrilled with this gift. Keep painting Joy!

Obsessed with String Quilting

September 11, 2021 by kellywalkerstudios

I am obsessed with String Quilting. I was looking for something to do with the TON of scraps I have left from multitudes of rag quilts we have made in workshops. I had boxes of scraps and have been wanting to clean out but I hate to throw away anything useful….you know what I mean. So I started looking for something that we might be able to do as a workshop at The Studio….something a step beyond the beginning rag quilts that we make. I think I found it in the “Quilt As You Go” method of String Quilts. These are so much fun to make and there are many options for designs. I love the scrappy look of these diagonal squares but you could purchase matching fabric to make a more “uniform” design. I’ll share again when it’s done but I had to lay out the squares I finished to see how it was going and I LOVE IT! Twelve squares here and I am going to do 8 more before I connect them. Can’t wait to see it!!!!
