Joy is one of my Thursday students that often tells people that she was scared to come to her first art class. But then she will reassure them that she is glad she did because she loves the paintings she is creating as well as the fellowship with her fellow students. Great job Joy! We are glad you joined us.
If you would like to paint be sure to check out more information here or contact Kelly at kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com to register. We would love to have you.

We had a large group of painters last night for art class. And everyone is working on something different. I really love seeing so many people developing their painting skills. If you are interested in painting join us for a Wednesday or Thursday art class or for a 1st Saturday Paint Party. We would love to see you painting too!

My students continue to do wonderful work each week painting everything from landscapes to still life to portraits. Yesterday in class Cathy finished this beautiful painting of her cat. Outstanding job! I know you will love having it hanging on your wall.

I had a fun private lesson with a mother-daughter this weekend. They created some beautiful art to welcome their new nephew/cousin into the world. Great job Clare and Vivian! You did a fabulous job. I know they will love it.

Yesterday Ethan painted this lovely Iris in class. He did a great job and told me he learned a lot about how to use the brush to make the lines work for the flower. Great job!

Logan and Ethan did a great job yesterday in the Kid’s Art Class painting a beautiful view of a Shenandoah Valley vineyard. Super!
If you have a young person, ages 7-13 that is interested in painting contact kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com and sign them up for a painting class. It’s a great way for them to learn about color mixing and composition in a fun and productive environment. And just look at the wonderful art they have at the end of each class!

Pat with her painting
Reference photo of dog
Several months ago Pat came to class excited about this dog she had met recently at her family reunion. She said it was the prettiest dog she had ever seen. “It’s pretty as a cow!”, she said. 🙂 That’s high praise from Pat – she loves cows! Here is the beautiful painting she just completed in art class of this pretty dog. Great job Pat!

One of the things I love about Facebook is all the terrific photos that my friends post…especially those of their pets. And I am lucky that my friends are kind enough to give me permission to paint from their photos when I ask. That happened this week with my friend Sonja and her new kitten Kloe. She posted this adorable photo of Kloe looking out the window and the kids class painted her yesterday. GREAT job everyone! I love it.

Before
After
We had a fun lesson yesterday with my young artist. We transformed an old canvas that had been painted as an abstract and turned it into a fun post-impressionist painting in the style of Matisse. Take a look at the before and after. What do you think?
