The family and friends of Pat Windrow honored her this past weekend by unveiling a memorial at the Town Commons in Front Royal. Pat was an artistic force of nature in Front Royal. She painted amazing murals on several buildings around town – both inside and out. Since her passing we are all hoping that these will be maintained by the owners of the buildings. They are irreplaceable.

The memorial that was dedicated features wonderful images of some of Pat’s beautiful floral paintings. It’s a fitting way to honor this creative woman.

Pets, Pets, Pets

September 13, 2015 by kellywalkerstudios

Yesterday I helped a delightful group of women from the Conservation Research Center paint their pets. And paint they did! Each one did a fabulous job painting their dogs and cats. They look great.

They said they will be back soon to paint some of the wonderful animals they work with at the CRC. Can’t wait for that!

Converting a Plain Sweatshirt into an Adorable Jacket

September 9, 2015 by kellywalkerstudios

I just finished converting a sweatshirt into this cute jacket. It’s really pretty easy to do. And we will be offering a class soon at The Studio for anyone who wants to make their own. It’s fun to create something that represents your personality. Of course, mine had to have a dog!

I think I will change the sleeve cuffs on this one. They are a little long so maybe I will change them up. Watch for an updated photo and info on the class coming up soon. (Click here to see another converted jacket from earlier this year.)
