Plein Air at Dickey Ridge Visitor Center

Posted in daily painter, Plein Air, tagged , , , , , , , , on June 29, 2012| 2 Comments »

Yesterday was Plein Air Thursday.  But I didn’t have time to go to the location where the group was painting so I decided to go up in the Shenandoah National Park to the Dickey Ridge overlook and paint for a few hours.  It’s such a lovely drive and so hard to believe that it is only 5 miles from my house.

This is the view I selected for the painting and the start of the piece.

 

And these next few shots are the progress I made throughout the next hour or so.

 

 

 

 

By the time I left I felt as if I were about 90% done with the painting.  I will touch it up a little and then it will go down to Delilah’s where hopefully someone will see it and want to take it home. 

Tomorrow I will tell you about the best part of painting at Dickey Ridge yesterday…

Quick Draw Event at Prince Michel Winery

I have been invited to paint at the Quick Draw Event at Prince Michel Winery just north of Madison on this coming Saturday.  There is more information about the event here.  I have really been looking forward to it.  The quick draw is a contest where artists have just one hour to create a painting while guests watch.  I still haven’t decided what I will paint yet but am narrowing it down.  If you like wine and art and have Saturday afternoon available, consider the pleasant drive over to Prince Michel and watch the artists create something spectacular!  Hope to see you there.

Painting at Sassafras Farm

Spent all day painting at Sassafras Farm yesterday with my good friend Linda. She’s a terrific painter and a great sport to take on this huge project with me.

Here’s Linda finishing up her painting of the Little Crooked Hen that she added at the end of the words I painted. These photos were made with my phone camera since that is the only way I have to post my blog here. I’ll do a wrap up next week with better photos when we are done.

And these chickens are Linda’s handiwork too. Aren’t they terrific?

Back to Jack

Posted in daily painter, Farm Animals, tagged , , , , on June 13, 2012| 2 Comments »

Spent the last couple of days gathering up supplies to go to see my friend in West Virginia who is having me do some paintings on her new studio walls.  She is Jack’s mom.  This is Jack.  He is part of the “Farm Animal” series that I painted a few years ago.  I’m sure I will get loads more material to paint while there.
