Olivia, Jacob and the Kitty Cat

Yesterday I had a delightful private lesson with Olivia and Jacob. They wanted to paint a cat….so we did.

They are 5 and 6 years old. Don’t you think they do wonderful work for such young artists? And we have fun to boot. What more can you ask?!

Patriot and Zip

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.

Tammy’s Otis, acrylic on 12″x12″ canvas. This little beauty is a rescue that belongs to my friends Tammy and Tim. He’s a lucky fellow because I think she treats her babies as good as I do. 🙂
