Bridge Over River is an oil on canvas panel that was an art lesson for the Wednesday Night Painting class. One of the most fun parts of painting together on Wednesdays is that sometimes we paint the same thing. This was a picture brought in that several of us painted.
Each turns out a little different…but all great!

And yes, I did paint while I was at the Paint-out. There were so many wonderful feature to photograph that I did take some time to walk around the yard and by the river and creek and get some reference photos for my file.
But finally I settled in and set up my easel on the porch, where other artist had gathered to sketch, draw, and one was even knitting. And I decided to paint the trunk of this magestic old tree by Robin’s house.
This is the start of the painting, the part that I got done that morning at the Paint-out. The painting shown in the photo is stored in the canvas carrier of the easel. I am waiting for the oil paint to dry a little more so I can go in and put some of the details in the tree trunk. As soon as it is done I’ll post the results.
Many thanks again to Robin for opening her lovely home and grounds to us for the Hampshire County Paint-out. It was a perfect day for artists, creativity and fellowship.

“View from the River Bridge” is an oil on canvas panel measuring 9″x12″. I started this painting several weeks ago as a lesson in the Wednesday night art class. We did the landscape work with the fields, mountain and river. Then when I brought it home and looked at it for awhile I decided that it needed something more. The photo I used was one I snapped while driving along. (See the photo by clicking this link. https://lifeofadailypainter.com/2009/06/30/serendipity/ )
So I added the bridge to the painting. This is one that will be entered in the upcoming River Show at the Blue Ridge Arts Council in Front Royal.

Isabella is my private student. She comes once a week and we work in acrylics. She’s a very quick study and has done some really nice little paintings.
Here she is hard at work.
And with her finished painting. A really nice result. Good job Isabella!
In addition to the Wednesday Night Oil Painting Class that I teach at the Blue Ridge Arts Council (see the Art Class tab at the top of the page) I offer private lessons. I have had several young students. I usually don’t work with students under the age of 12 but every once in awhile there is a “Promising Picasso” that I teach.
