Dianne and I worked on her mural a few more hours today. You’ll remember the right section….Fall…from a week or so ago. Today we added the Winter scene. It is about 70% finished. We need to add more snow to the trees and a few more limbs. And we plan to add a cardinal in the tree. But because of travel plans we won’t be able to do more for a few weeks so we’ll show you more as we get it done. At this rate we may have it done for her Thanksgiving dinner.

Dianne and I worked on the mural again on Sunday for 3 more hours. We got the fall panel about 90% complete….and got a start on the Winter sky. Dianne’s traveliing some the next few days so we won’t get to work on it again until she returns. I think it’s moving along faster than Dianne thought it would even though it’s a huge project. More to come.

Yesterday I started a mural at my good friend and student Dianne’s home. We have a 26 foot wall to fill and she wants scenes of the valley so we decided to work it in 4 panels….like windows….with each one featuring a season. Because Dianne is helping in the painting we got a good start on the Fall “window”. Because of her travel and my work constraints we are hoping to complete the wall by Thanksgiving. That’s our goal. We’ll keep you posted.

We had a large group of 28 painters (not all shown here) for the Belle Grove Paint Party Fundraiser yesterday. So many nice people came out to paint the beautiful scene that you see behind them in the photo. The wind gave us a little challenge but everyone came through like champs. Nice work everyone. Thanks Kristin for inviting me out to paint at such a lovely location. Now maybe next time we won’t have to tape down the palette paper! 🙂

My weekly art student, Dianne (on the left), always brings her out of town visitors to The Studio to paint a local view so that her guests will have a beautiful reminder of the trip. It’s not only the image but also the memory of painting together at The Studio that these guests enjoy. This friend, Agnes (on the right) is visiting from Paris, France. It was a delight working with her and she did an amazing job!

Just take a look at the great paintings and sewing projects we have coming up at The Studio. Soon we will have all of these listed for registration. Paint some amazing things….like these welcoming doors or the red tulips. And you can learn to make some really cute Blackbird quilt blocks or Patriotic Stars. The Memory Quilt is perfect for the old shirts you’ve been saving. The phone/tablet stands are a favorite and we have a wall hanging that helps you learn to use all the decorative stitches on your machine. Let’s create together soon! Click here to see what we have going on now and watch for upcoming classes. If you have questions about any classes contact kwalker@kellywalkerstudios.com.

Always on the lookout for a simple design that will work for a beginning sewing and/or quilting class I recently saw a quilt similar to this and thought it would be a good one to work up for a class. I like the simplicity and modern look of it. Watch for a beginning quilt class soon.
