A Small Landscape

Posted in daily painter, Landscape, tagged , on October 14, 2016| Leave a Comment »

20160714_154233.jpg  This miniature landscape is one I did a few months ago but  haven’t had time to post.  The canvas measures 4 1/8″x 5″ and the completed size in the frame is 8 1/4″ x 9″.  This one is available for $75.   SOLD! (Turns out it’s a little bigger than I originally remembered but I am leaving it at the same price I listed in the blog.  A bargain for someone!)  Just email me if interested at kwalker@kellywalkerstudios.com  .  Thanks.

Art of the Carolinas Coming Up

Posted in daily painter, Travel, Workshop/Retreat, tagged , on October 11, 2016| Leave a Comment »

logoOne of the most fun things I have ever done with painters is going to “Art of the Carolinas” in Raleigh.  It’s a  huge trade show and they have art workshops for 4 days from which to choose.

For several years my art friends from Kentucky met me over in Raleigh and we had a reunion as well as a great time painting.  That was wonderful.   This year several of us are going from my classes and it’s not too late to go.  Click this link to learn more and see the available classes.  It is well worth the trip….and Raleigh isn’t that far.  I’ve already signed up for two classes and another one has caught my eye!  🙂

My desk – where I write my blog every morning surrounded by art

I just ran across this article a few days ago and had to share it.  You know I loved this!!!

For years I have been saying that everyone should have ORIGINAL art in their  home…not just prints or posters.  This article gives  you “13 Reasons Why Art in the Home is as Important as a Bed”!  Well, yes!!!!   And, of course, I think #8 is the BEST reason.  🙂

And here are a couple of past posts where I share how I live with art.  Click here  and  here.  I’m sharing a few photos here that I just shot two minutes ago in my house.  This is how I live with art.  As you can imagine it’s everywhere…both mine…and other artists that I admire.  If you love art and want a lovely home then buy original art.  It’s not as expensive as you think.
