Yesterday at Camp we studied Pissaro and recreated a lovely painting that he did in 1894 called Windmill at Knokke, Belgium. And these young painters did a terrific job with it. Take a look!

Reenactment at Belle Grove
Posted in daily painter, Travel, tagged Belle Grove, reenactment on July 24, 2016| Leave a Comment »






Yesterday I drove over to Belle Grove in Middletown to deliver some art for an upcoming event called “Art in the Barn” that they are having there. I happened upon a reenactment weekend. It was quite a sight to see….impressive with the huge mansion on one side of the field and a big red barn on the other with tons of tents in between. You have to wonder is that what it looked like all those years ago?! Wow!

Huge Sale on Art at The Studio
Posted in daily painter, Landscape, Sale, tagged lavender, Sale on July 18, 2016| Leave a Comment »
Fields of Lavender Paintings I just completed this week. Both are part of the HUGE SALE going on right now at The Studio until the end of July.
All original art is 35-50% off. Two reasons for the sale. 1) We are making way for new pieces to be hung when I return from knee surgery. 2) Since I’ll be out of commission for two weeks this is a way to off-set the loss of income. (It’s tough when bills still need to be paid. LOL) If you see anything on the walls of The Studio that you are interested in purchasing just send me an email at kwalker@kellywalkerstudios.com for more into. Or better yet, stop in to see me. Many thanks for your support!

I have been working on a commission for my friend Sandy on and off for several months now. She had a very specific need for a long narrow painting to put over a cabinet in her dining room. She wanted in the style of Matisse with “The Dance” included as well as teapot and certain colors. She was happy with it when she picked it up. Whew!
Happy Independence Day!

As a history major I feel that there are several important documents that every American should read on occasion.
One of the most important is the Declaration of Independence. Several years ago I started making it a tradition to read it every Independence Day. Please take a few minutes to read it. It’s an amazing document. There is a copy here that is easy to read.
Happy Independence Day!

Ball Park and Flip Flops
Posted in Art Class, daily painter, tagged Ball Park, Beach, Flip Flops on July 1, 2016| Leave a Comment »
My private students painted summery scenes over the last two weeks….a Ball Park and a Beach with Flip Flops. Nice work. I like the flip flop scene so much that I painted it too and think this will be a great one for a Paint Party. What do you think?
And then at the 1st Saturday Paint Party featured a Beach Scene with Palm Tree. Great work by all the painters. Another fun and full day at The Studio!!!
