While in Newport recently I ran across this little Regatta on Saturday. Got some nice shots of sailboats to paint. As a daily painter I am always gathering photos for my reference file.

Shenandoah Fishermen, oil on canvas panel, 11″x14″. This is a painting that I started while painting at the boat landing on Luray Avenue in Front Royal a few weeks ago. I had almost finished laying in the composition when these fisherman rode up and stopped. They added the perfect finishing touch to this painting.

Lincoln and Dixie, acrylic on canvas, 14″x18″. Dixie is a dog in our neighborhood that loves to come visit us…usually without her parents permission. She is quite the escape artist. We welcome her visits as Lincoln loves her. You can read a little more about Dixie here.

While in Newport recently I had an opportunity to drive around taking reference photos. This one of the Oreo cow is one of my favorites. They are actually called Belted Galloways but I think they look like Oreos. Dorothy and I painted them last week in class. You can read more about them here.
Olivia and G-Pa

Last night at art class I had the most delightful treat. Olivia, my little 5-year-old private student that you have seen before on my blog, and her grandfather from Florida came to paint together while he was visiting. It was so much fun!!!
Olivia helped G-Pa with his painting because she is such a pro. Can you think of anything cuter than this photo! Good job Olivia and you too, G-Pa!
