Yesterday was such a wonderful day at Belle Grove. I started out with a group painting a little wildflower painting. They were delightful and we had such a nice time.
Then it was back over in the afternoon for the “Meet the Artists” reception at the mansion. This year Belle Grove offered the art of Wayne Laws, Sally Veach and me (Kelly Walker)! It was so fun to see art in the mansion. It is still going on until close today so if you are over Middletown way you have to stop in and see it.

The Shenandoah River flowed over it’s banks yesterday after we got another 4 inches of rain. The ground is so saturated from rain all last month so this just pushed it out further. Many people have flooded basements and yards. We are hoping that the rain has stopped for a while and that the sun will soak up some of this water. The photo above is looking east at the South Fork of the Shenandoah River on the right and the banks overflowed on the left. Below is the North Fork of the Shenandoah River looking west. That’s the river on the left and the flooded bank on the right. Wow!
Ten years ago today I started my blog, Life of a Daily Painter. Hard to believe it’s been 10 years. Last year for the anniversary post I share a look back. (
I drove over to the Old Luckett’s Store for their Fall Festival this morning. The drive was beautiful. I like to take little backroads and see what I can see. Today it was a beautiful view with these llamas in the field. We live in a lovely part of the country. And Luckett’s was fun too!
