I am back at Sassafras Farm for the September Primitives and Pioneers Retreat. Today we will milk the cow, make corn cob jelly, pick supplies for potpourri, paint a folk art painting and make taper candles. Are you tired yet?
And that is just the first day. I will get lots of photos to share tomorrow. That is if I am not too tired.

TVOR Demonstration Painting

Here is the painting that I did for the demonstration at The Village at Orchard Ridge on Tuesday night. (See yesterday’s post.)

I worked in acrylic on an 18″x24″ canvas. This was a one hour talk so I did not complete the painting but rather laid in the color and got a few details in so that they could see the process. I will take some time soon to finish it up but for an hour I got a great deal done.

Demonstration at TVOR

Posted in daily painter, Tips for Better Painting, tagged daily painter, Demonstration painting, The Village at Orchard Ridge, Virginia Artist on September 10, 2014| Leave a Comment »

Last night I was invited to speak to a group at The Village at Orchard Ridge. It’s a beautiful retirement community in Winchester. I have been teaching art there every other week for a few months and just love the people.

The demonstration was scheduled to help some of the residents see just how easy it can be to start painting. It was a nice evening with a good turn out and lots of great questions. I am a firm believer that anyone who wants to learn to paint can! The only thing needed is the desire. Classes are available in Front Royal on Wednesday and Thursday at The Studio. Check out the calendar here and come join in the fun.

I had some time this week to work on a few daily paintings. My schedule has been hectic and while I paint each day I haven’t had time to just do single daily paintings. Finally this week I had a little time for it. WooHoo!
