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

Posted in daily painter, Small Town Life, tagged , , , , , on January 24, 2012| 1 Comment »

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?!  🙂

Fancy, the German Short Hair Pointer Pup and Jade!

Posted in Art Class, daily painter, Dogs, tagged , , , , , , , , , on January 17, 2012| 4 Comments »

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!

Olivia with an Iris

Posted in Art Class, tagged , , , , , on January 11, 2012| 2 Comments »

Olivia painted this beautiful Iris last weekend for her grandparents.  She did a lovely job.  She takes private lessons with me. 

I have many young artists painters that I work with either in class (ages 7-12) or taking private lessons.  Kids younger than 7 often do best with one on one instruction in art.  If you have a budding artist, get in touch with me about signing them up for art lessons or class.  They’ll love it!   kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com
