Michele’s Abstract

June 3, 2017 by kellywalkerstudios

20170601_071211 Michele has been working on this gorgeous abstract painting for a couple of weeks at class. Sometimes we all need to paint an abstract to loosen up and get our creative juices flowing. That is what Michele did and it turned out amazing. Great work!

Fun Matisse-Like Flowers

June 2, 2017 by kellywalkerstudios

We painted a floral painting this week in the style of Matisse. The kids got to pick their colors and they went right to work. We talked about Matisse as I get ready to go see a Matisse exhibit in Boston. Can’t wait to see it.

Farmer’s Market

May 31, 2017 by kellywalkerstudios

One of the best places to get some colorful and interesting reference photos is at Farmer’s Markets. Sunday I rode over to Little Washington with my friend Sandra. We wanted to check out their market and even though it was drizzling rain we found some nice things (bread, baskets, and tea) as well as got a few nice shots for future paintings.

Butterfly Stitch Shawl

May 30, 2017 by kellywalkerstudios

I finished my project using the Butterfly Stitch. It worked up quickly and looks nice. I like trying different stitches to see what effects we can get. This one will work well for scarves, shawls, blankets, etc. You can find an easy to follow pattern here.

Art in Unusual Places

May 29, 2017 by kellywalkerstudios

Sometimes you find art in the most unusual places. Yesterday morning while walking my boys we saw this down the street at a neighbors house. They have lots of kids so I don’t know which ones did it but I love it!

Trying Butterfly Stitch

May 28, 2017 by kellywalkerstudios

20170528_062724 I had a chance to experiment with a couple of new stitches. This is the Butterfly Stitch using Caron Cakes (that I love). The self striping yarn is so much fun and so easy to work with because you don’t have to change yarn over and over again to get a beautiful look. It does the work for you! Don’t you LOVE it?!
