Lincoln would love to get as close to the cows as he does to the fish but it ain’t happening.

Having visited Sassafras Farm last week put me in the mood to add to my “Farm Animal” series. I took loads of new photos to work from so I will get started on those very soon.

Here is “Mr. Hyde”, an oil painting on canvas, measuring 8″x6″, that I painted from a previous trip there. This painting, along with others in the “Farm Animal” series is available at Delilah’s on Main Street in Front Royal.

Painting at Sassafras Farm

Posted in daily painter, Farm Animals, Travel on June 16, 2012| 2 Comments »

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

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.

While in Newport recently I had an opportunity to drive around taking reference photos. This one of the Oreo cow is one of my favorites. They are actually called Belted Galloways but I think they look like Oreos. Dorothy and I painted them last week in class. You can read more about them here.

Patriot and Zip

Posted in daily painter, Farm Animals, Pet Portaits, tagged daily painter, daily painting, farm animals, horses, impressionism, Landscape, oil painting, pet portrait, rescue horses, Virginia Artist on May 21, 2012| 1 Comment »

This past week in art class and then again on Saturday at the Wine Festival downtown I worked on this painting. This is Patriot and Zip, two beautiful rescue horses adopted by my friend Suzanne McMinn and her daughter, Morgan. (Patriot and Zip, oil on canvas panel, 11″x14″, available by contacting kwalker@kellywalkerstudios.com)

I will be meeting these lovely guys in June when I go to Sassafras Farm, their home and home to Chickens in the Road, where I will be painting a mural for Suzanne. And while I am there Suzanne is having a fundraiser for Heart of Phoenix Equine Rescue from where she rescued Zip and Patriot. Read about all of that here.

Next I’ll be making prints of this painting and anyone who donates at least $25 to Heart of Phoenix Equine Rescue before the fundraiser in June at Sassafras Farm will receive a print suitable for framing. Take a look at Heart of Phoenix here and see the good work they do.
