The Studio

And a Cow!

August 9, 2019 by kellywalkerstudios

The final day of Art Camp had us painting a cow! Of course, we had to have a cow for our farm animal series. It was a great week of camp with the Farm Animal theme. We painted a landscape with a barn plus a rooster, a goose, a pig and a cow…a great week of camp! Now we have to set up a time for the adults to paint farm animals…that will come soon.

A Barn for Campers

August 8, 2019 by kellywalkerstudios

Yesterday we painted a nice landscape with a barn…a place for our farm animals to live! These kids are doing great! Today is our final day….we are painting a cow! After camp yesterday morning a friend called with her grandkids in town and they came by in the afternoon and painted the same scene. Nice work done in a quick class.

Day 2-Farm Animals with 2 More!

August 7, 2019 by kellywalkerstudios

Because we have a small group painting this week, and all of them are veterans of Art Camp, we are moving right along in our plan to paint as many farm animals as possible. Yesterday we completed two! We had time on Monday to do the background for one so it made it easy to get an extra one done. So now we have a goose (or duck) and a Rooster to add to our Farm Animal series. Wonderful!

The Window Sill

August 5, 2019 by kellywalkerstudios

Sometimes I begin a painting and it gets set aside until I can get back to it…especially larger pieces. That is what happened with The Window Sill. I started this about 3 years ago after seeing a beautiful photo in Better Homes and Gardens of a blue green window sash and lovely flowers in a variety of pots and vases. I found the canvas tucked away in the closet at The Studio when I was gathering canvases for the annual Anniversary sale (still underway) and decided to finish it.

Beautiful Clematis

We loved the photo that Marc took of the clematis he picked and he gave us permission to paint it. They all turned out GREAT!!!! (Leah shared her painting credit with Lincoln. LOL)

Jacket Complete

August 3, 2019 by kellywalkerstudios

The Sandys have completed the jacket. Sandra Charles, on the left, is a fabulous seamstress and she spent a few Fridays at Open Studio teaching Sandy Schwalb to sew. The jacket was made with antique fabric given to Sandy by her aunt in New York City. It’s beautiful but a little fragile with which to work so it was a challenge. It turned our terrific. Nice work girls!

Kids Sew Quilts

July 31, 2019 by kellywalkerstudios

At the second day of our Sewing Camp the kids finished their Rag Quilts. They chose their fabrics on Monday and started sewing and yesterday they finished them. They were so proud of their work….as they should be! They learned to choose fabrics, how to sew a pillow and a quilt, how to sew by hand with needle and thread and how to use machines. They even got to try a 1946 Featherweight. And when I was asked if I bought it new I had to laugh. Kids!!!
