Winding Road painting complete

Winding Road painting complete

I’ve been working on a few new paintings of vineyards to hang at Winding Roads Cellars.

I finally got several together and took them out to hang last week.  You must go out and see this lovely place.

Winding Roads is a new winery located between Markham and Hume and they have a terrific product.  It’s a beautiful ride out there too.  They are open Thursday – Monday.

And of course, while you are there please check out my new art.  This is one of the new paintings and it is of the view from the winery’s back deck overlooking the little pond on their property.

This painting is SOLD!

Smith Sign Finished 2A few weeks ago I got a request to paint a pet portrait on an outdoor sign.  I don’t generally paint signs but this one was special so I accepted the challenge.  I completed it and delivered it last week and the client was thrilled.  Pet Portraits are one of my favorite things to do.  Smith was a fun one!  I love the expression on his face.

Remembering Boo

tn_Boo's PaintingWhite ShepToday I am remembering Boo, a beautiful white shepherd, who came to live with  us when she was 12 years old.  We rescued her from our local shelter and she was  the perfect girl.

While she was a senior and only lived a couple more years, she was a charming addition to our family and we loved making her last years special.  Today would have been her birthday.  We miss you Boo.

Opening Reception Pond Kids Opening Reception Pond CrowdThe opening last night for the Painted Diamonds show was a great success.  We had a nice crowd and while I didn’t have much of a chance to take pictures I did snap a few early during the evening with my phone camera.  I think some of my friends took more photos so hopefully I will get some more later.

The show will run through November 8.  Stop by to see it.

PD Show full truck PD Show 3 PD Show 1 PD Show 2Today is the opening day of the 2013 World Series and the opening day of the Painted Diamonds Art Exhibit.  We hung the show yesterday at the Blue Ridge Arts Council in Front Royal and it looks great!  It was a little strange to see six months of hard work all hanging together there.  I still can’t believe it’s a reality.

Many thanks again to all the Kickstarter backers who made it happen.  Your names are listed here on my blog and on the Kickstarter page.  You made this happen.  My appreciation to each of you for your belief in this project.

The Opening Reception is tonight from 6-8 p,m.  Stop down at the Arts Council at 305 E. Main Street in Front Royal to see the exhibit and have some ball park food.  Have a hot dog or maybe some cracker jacks and say hello.  Hope to see you there.
