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.

The Museum of the Shenandoah Valley has a wonderful Art Nouveau exhibit featuring Alphonse Mucha. I visited it yesterday with some friends and it is a MUST see. If you live near Winchester you need to make time to go. It runs through the end of July.

Painting with a Knife

Palette knife painting produces beautifully textured works of art. You can work in a totally abstract way as well as produce recognizable subjects. Plus it can be lots of fun. You can do it. Why not give it a try.


These are examples of some of the work you can do. Join us at the Paint Party in May to learn this technique. Information on the Paint Party and registration here.

Painting with the Knife

Last Wednesday the kids tried their hand at palette knife painting. It was fun and they all did a great job. It’s exciting to experiment with something new and different. I decided to complete the demo painting I did with the kids so that we can offer an adult version of the palette knife class. A paint party coming soon….
