The art show at Belle Grove is FAST approaching. Get all the details here. It’s hard to believe it was January when we told you about the invitation to show art at the Belle Grove Plantation. You can read about that here. Make plans now to come. There will be something going on each day in addition to the art sale that benefits Belle Grove. We will be having two Paint Parties….one that the iconic image of the Signal Knob, the view from the porch at Belle Grove and one is for all ages (Wildflowers) so get the kids rounded up and come join in. You can click here to register for the Paint Parties.
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!
It was always a delight to have Jean in class. We miss her. Jean’s art will be on display at Samuels Public Library through the month of November.
Last night we held a fundraiser for the Phoenix Project. We had a great turnout…and we had a LOT of fun. Thanks to everyone who helped make it a big success for a great organization.
