A few weeks ago we painted down by Happy Creek en plein air (outside in open air). It was a fun morning and I got a good start to a little landscape. (See that post here.) Yesterday I got around to finishing this one. And we will be offering it as a Paint Party on Tuesday, June 4th at 6 pm. Click here to register.

Lincoln and I spent the day at Shenandoah National Park at the “Painting in the Park Seminar: Nature as a Starting Place” with Kevin H. Adams. Kevin was the 2017 Artist in Residence for the park. (Read and see more about that here.) The seminar focused on the challenges of plein air painting with the focus on landscapes. While the weather was a little damp and cool….and the clouds dropped down low on the top of the mountain so we couldn’t even see our subject for a little while, it was still a terrific seminar.
Kevin offered tips and suggestions to improve painting in plein air.
And being in the park is always nice. There is so much material so I took many reference photos that I hope to paint soon.

I was delighted to be invited to hold a Paint Party for the 21st Faith Community Nurse/Health Ministry Retreat at Cacapon Resort State Park in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia last night. Thanks Kim Davis for having The Studio over to lead such a wonderful group. They were so much fun and created these beautiful little Apple Blossom Tree paintings. And what a lovely setting the state park is there! Beautiful!

We have art classes for adults every week on Wednesday morning from 10:30-Noon or 5:30-7 pm. We also have a Thursday afternoon class from 2-3:30 pm. Come join us and paint beautiful works of art like Kelly did here. This is a scene from her drive home. The fun of these classes is that each person paints the subject of their choice and they get individual help to achieve their goals. Contact kwalker@thestudioforlearning.com to sign up. We look forward to painting with you.
