My friend Deborah and I took her mom out to the Garden Show at Blandy Experimental Farm yesterday for the Garden Show after a little brunch. It was a fun time. So many beautiful plants were available. But there was also other garden related items …. and animals. We saw these great guys…not sure if they are llamas or alpacas……but they were CUTE! And while I didn’t buy a basket I did get a hat…and it’s cute too. I didn’t ask how much the baby was that was on display with the baskets because I really didn’t need one. LOL!

We had another BIG paint party at Rappahannock Cellars last night. Fun was had by all and everyone went home with a beautiful work of art. It was super seeing so many old friends painting with their families and meeting so many new friends. Great job everyone. We’re looking forward to the next one!

A few weeks ago we saw a cute little Black and Tan Coonhound pup walking by The Studio and we asked his dad to stop so we could all pet him and get a photo to paint. The kids loved him. Well we got around to painting his portrait this week. Look at what a great job the kids did with their portraits of Rocky.

Yesterday we had so much fun working with the Humane Society of Warren County dog team staff creating a beautiful work of art that they will hang in their shelter. The team building exercise had them painting 9 canvases that will be connected and delivered to them soon. They did a marvelous job on this fun painting of pups! Great work everyone. Remember that we did this exercise with the cat staff a few years ago. You can see that painting here.
