Sometimes painting BIG is fun! We worked loose and free with lots of paint using brushes and palette knives and created these large abstract paintings. Awesome!!!

Cat with Heart Rag Quilt I can just imagine a little girl all snuggled up with this Calico Cat Rag Quilt. It’s a new design and we will be making it soon at The Studio. Of course, since I love dogs so much I am working on a new dog design too! That will be here soon. In the meantime this one is for all my kitty loving friends to enjoy. (As usual, the sample is available for sale…..this one measures 40″ x 52″ and is $89. Contact kwalker@thestudioforlearning.com if you would like it.)

Painting Bowls

February 18, 2019 by kellywalkerstudios

It’s rare that I get a day off when there is a great class being offered nearby that I can take. It happened yesterday! I went to The Mud Peddler Studio in Shepherdstown, WV and painted with my friend, Denise Kupiszewski. She is an excellent teacher and helps you create beautiful pieces. The event was so much fun that I can’t wait to try again. We decorated two bowls, one we keep and the other is going to a fundraiser for a charity. Nice, huh? Everyone did something totally different and they were all fabulous. Thanks Denise. Let’s do it again soon…and maybe this time in Front Royal!

Still Life with Oranges

February 15, 2019 by kellywalkerstudios

We will be painting this still life with oranges at a Paint Party on Friday, March 1st at 6 pm. This one was done with a grey scale underpainting. We won’t necessarily work it this way at the paint party but it’s a good exercise that helps with darks and lights in painting. You can see the process above.

We painted hearts in the style of Kandinsky at kid’s art class yesterday. Peanut is representing the class here as I left my phone in the car and didn’t have it to take a photo of everyone but had a chance to grab it before she left. Thanks Peanut. Your painting is beautiful!!! Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!
