A Little Late

Posted in Dogs, tagged , on April 11, 2011| Leave a Comment »

I’m a little late with today’s post because we just returned from the cabin this morning.  And who was waiting for us on the front stoop???  Dixie!  She’s back.  And she was so glad to see Lincoln and Jed.  She came right into the house and right out the doggie door, begging them to run and chase her.  

She seems to be a little camera-shy.  I had an old pink bandana that I tied around her neck but she wasn’t sure she wanted her picture taken.

Tomorrow I’ll tell you about the other dog who visited us out at the cabin yesterday.

“Dog Show”

Posted in daily painter, Dogs, Pet Portaits, tagged , , , , , , on April 8, 2011| Leave a Comment »

I was asked a couple of times this week about the “Bark for the Park” Art Show and Sale.  It’s not too late to see it.  It will be hanging at the Community Center until May 15th. 

And it’s certainly not too late to purchase a painting to help the park.  Just contact Kym at the Blue Ridge Arts Council or me to let us know which painting you would like.  Just like this little Lhaso Apso, all the paintings in this show are 12″x12″ acrylic on canvas and priced at $125 with all the proceeds going to the park.  You can also scroll back through the posting on this blog to see the paintings and select from one that hasn’t yet sold.

Or if you would just like to support the park you can send a donation to the Warren County Dog Park Association, c/o Kelly Walker, 939 S. Marshall St., Front Royal, VA  22630.  Any amount is welcomed and appreciated!

Painting with Leslie Fox Keyser Elementary

Posted in Art Class, daily painter, Small Town Life, tagged , , , , , , on April 1, 2011| Leave a Comment »

This week I worked with the 4th grade students at Leslie Fox Keyser Elementary School to produce the 175th Anniversary Painting.  The first day Doug Stanley, County Administrator, reviewed the history of Warren County while I gave an overview of the material we would use in the paintings.

I also did a quick demo of some of the brush strokes they would use as well as a color mixing demo of certain colors they would use.  They seemed fascinated.

Then on the second day of the project they started painting.  I will share more of their work soon.  Today was their final day of painting and Hagerstown TV came to do a story.  The kids were so excited.  Take a look at the story here.
