Air Dry Clay Leaf Dish

Posted in daily painter, tagged Air Dry Clay, Leaf Dish, Pinterest on November 4, 2014| Leave a Comment »

Pinterest is a dangerous thing. There are so many great ideas on there…so many things I want to try to do. The latest is this air dry clay project.

I made a couple of Leaf Dishes. The burnt orange one was the first. The others have just dried and now I need to finish them with a little sanding and varnish. I love how these turn out. If you want to give it a try we will be making these at our “Pinterest Picks” class at The Studio on November 11th & 18th. Check it out!

The Painted Diamonds series of paintings is currently on display at the Community Center on Villa Avenue.

“Painted Diamonds – 30 Parks in 30 Weeks”, created a painting of every major league ball park, all thirty of them, between April and October 2013. The project was documented and published in a catalog as well as on Kelly’s blog. There was an exhibition of the entire series at the Blue Ridge Arts Council in Front Royal, VA, during World Series Week, October 23-31, 2013. Eleven of the original paintings were pre-sold during the Kickstarter project and several more have sold since the original show.

The paintings will remain on display at the Community Center until the end of October. The remaining original paintings as well as prints of every park are available for purchase.

More with Embroidery

Posted in daily painter, Embroidery, tagged embroidery, The Studio-A Place for Learning on September 30, 2014| Leave a Comment »

We had Part 2 of our Embroidery Class last night at The Studio-A Place for Learning. I got my homework done so that I was ready to learn the next stitches – filler stitches. (See Part I info here.)

Sandra Charles is an excellent and patient instructor. The class had a terrific time showing what we had done so far. And we can’t wait to get together again in the near future to show our finished work to one another.

It’s great to be able to try another creative form when you are accustomed to doing one type. While I love painting I also love learning and trying something new. Give it a try. Check out the schedule at The Studio and try something new!

Sunflower Field at Oxbow Farm

Posted in daily painter, Landscape, Plein Air, tagged daily painter, daily painting, impressionism, Landscape, Oxbow Farm, Shenandoah Valley, sunflower, sunflowers, Virginia Artist on September 28, 2014| 1 Comment »

I spent a delightful morning painting a sunflower field at a beautiful farm north of town yesterday.

It has been awhile since I have been out to paint and I had almost forgotten how much I enjoyed it.

As with most Plein Air paintings that I do this one is almost finished but will get a little adjustment now that I have it in the studio. You can see the step-by-step progress in this collage.

Sunflower View I is an oil on canvas panel measuring 11″ x 14″. SOLD!

Painted Bucket

Posted in daily painter, Dogs, tagged acrylic, folk art, Painted bucket on September 22, 2014| Leave a Comment »

Last week I shared with you the buckets that we painted at the Pioneers & Primitives Retreat that I taught at Sassafras Farm in WV. (See that here.)

This is the bucket I worked on while there as a sample for the class. It’s a little larger than a regular bucket but I think it would be great to hold dog toys! SOLD!
