The Studio

The Art Walk last night was great!  It’s the first time since we started over a year ago that I have actually been able to get away from the shop (Delilah’s) and see what the other artists and shops are doing.  And boy was it fun. 

The Blue Ridge Arts Council Gallery had a good turn out of people looking at the Member Show when I stopped by there.  That show runs till the first part of August and is my favorite each year.  I love seeing what everyone has been working on.  www.blueridgearts.org

And I love how people really get into describing what they like about paintings to their friends. 

Some artists were set up on the street even though it was a very HOT evening…

And some really smart artists, like Michelle, were set up inside in an air conditioned shop painting beautiful works of art.  (You know I am especially fond of dogs so I loved this one!)

 And we even had a group of ladies from Winchester who were making one of a kind greeting cards that were just lovely. 

I didn’t get photos of all the artists that were working last night at the art walk.  There were many more so you will need to mark your calendar for the 3rd Thursday in August (August 20th) and come downtown and see for yourself. 

It is so nice to have an ongoing art event like this in Front Royal.  Good job everybody!

Today’s painting is one I did a few months ago during a 3rd Thursday Art Walk.  I started it that night and completed it over the next few days.   It is called “Weeping Cherry Tree at the Train Station” and it is on display at the Blue Ridge Arts Council as part of the Member Show.
