I spent Mother’s Day with one of my best friends, Deb, at the Maryland Sheep &Wool Festival outside of Frederick, Maryland. Deb spins wool into yarn as well as dyes her own wool so it was fascinating to see the whole thing from her perspective. There was loads of beautiful yarn for purchase as well as lots of other beautiful items. I found several new things I would like to learn to do. 🙂
But best of all I got lots of good reference photos for painting. And I got to hold a one day old lamb….her mother rejected her…not the best mother on Mother’s Day…but the people who own her were bottle feeding her and they have lots of sheep and know just what to do. They make lovely blankets and throws from their wool. Check them out here.

There is a wonderful exhibit of paintings from around the Shenandoah Valley by Andrei Kushnir at the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley. It’s worth going to see. His impressionistic style is very appealing and you will recognize many of the painting locations.
Take a look here for more information.
And while you are there be sure to see the marvelous Mucha exhibit that we posted about yesterday. See it here.

Yesterday I experienced a first with a private pet portrait party. We had 9 painters but only 2 dog portraits. The others featured 6 horses and 1 pot-bellied pig! It was a great group of fun people painting beautiful portraits. Can’t wait till y’all come back in July.
