At Art Camp yesterday our great young painters recreated Paul Gauguin’s “Tahitian Landscape”.  And what beautiful recreations they made!  Just take a look.  They are terrific.  And we do get a little paint on us when we work, don’t we Sloan?  LOL

We started our Post-Impressionism Art Camp yesterday as our 9 young painters recreated a Mary Cassatt painting of the “Woman Standing, Holding a Fan” from 1878-79. These girls did a wonderful job on this piece.  We also created a Color Wheel and talked about the importance of color mixing before we began painting our masterpiece.  Next up….Gauguin!

New Paper Painting

Posted in daily painter, Flowers, tagged , on July 17, 2017| Leave a Comment »

20170716_221708I spent some time playing with a new paper painting last week in between art camp and regular classes.  It’s a good start.  I hope to be able to do a little more this week.  We may even have time to do something similar during art camp.  It’s Modern Art week and sometimes we have time to do an extra painting when we finish our spatter and color block art.  :-)

20170630_061451“Wine Anyone?” is acrylic on canvas measuring 8″x16.  This one may have a little more added in but for now it is an idea for a paint party.  What do you think?

Demonstrating at The Barn

Posted in daily painter, Landscape, Travel, tagged on June 26, 2017| Leave a Comment »

This weekend was Art in the Barn at Belle Grove in Middletown.  I was invited to submit a few paintings (one sold, WooHoo!) and to demonstrate on Saturday.  I was set up in the barn that morning and worked on a floral for a few minutes but I kept looking at the scene in front of me….out the door of the barn and I loved what I saw so I switched and worked on a smaller painting of the little scene out front.  I got quite a bit done and will finish it in The Studio.  You should go to Belle Grove if you get a chance.  It’s beautiful there.  I’ll be going back soon to paint again.

Capon Springs 1st Paint Party!

Posted in daily painter, Paint Party, Serendipity, Travel, Workshop/Retreat, tagged , , , , on June 10, 2017| Leave a Comment »

The very first Paint Party ever at Capon Springs was a HUGE success!  The painters were terrific and did a fabulous job creating a beautiful work of art featuring the Band Stand at the Resort.

Capon Springs is an all inclusive family mountain resort …. and while it is only about 32 miles from Front Royal it seems a really long way away.  It’s like going back in time.  I told my friend who went last night to help with the Paint Party that it is “32 miles and 6 decades away”!  It’s wonderful.  You can learn more about it here.  We had a grand time enjoying dinner there before the Paint Party.  It was delightful to see all these multi-generational families sitting together passes plates and bowls of food around the table and having conversations while dining.  I am thrilled that Jonathan, one of the owners of this gem, has invited me to come back and teach again.

I’ll be back for another Paint Party and we will also be offering a multi disciplined Art Week in the Fall.  Stay tuned for more info soon.  You will definitely want to plan to go for a few days.
