Table Rock

Right before Christmas I received a commission to paint three paintings of scenes in the North Carolina mountains. The client had spent considerable time in the area as a child with his family and wanted to have these paintings done as gifts for his brothers. This is the first of the three.

Stolen Renoir Must Be Returned

I love reading any story about someone who buys a masterpiece at a thrift shop or garage sale or about stolen art that is recovered but this particular story was of interest as it happened just down the road from where we live. We have been following it since it was first reported.

Purchased for $7 because she liked the frame, Marcia “Martha” Fuqua learned later that she had an original Renoir. You would think she had hit the jackpot but it is not turning out that way.

Read the whole story on this link.

Shelly’s Recent Work

January 9, 2014 by kellywalkerstudios

We offer three l adult art classes at the Blue Ridge Arts Council on Wednesdays at 10:30 or 5:30 and Thursday at 5:30. The classes are 1 1/2 hours and are for beginners to advanced paintings. You can join the class at anytime as they are ongoing and each student works on a painting of their choice. (Read more about classes here.) We do all study the same things, however, which is composition and color mixing. I believe once you learn to mix and see colors you really become a good painter.

Shelly has been painting with me for a couple of years and she has a terrific eye for color and color mixing. Here is an example of two of her latest paintings. We work from photographs and the colorful sunset shows just beautifully colors can be added to a painting. Great job Shelly. And the names on the tree is a gift for her son. What a thoughtful and fun painting. Keep up the excellent work Shelly!

Tea with Red Background

I have been working on a couple of new paintings in the “Tea” series. We have a new Chocolate and Tea shop in town, Shenandoah Confections at 126 E. Main Street, that has asked me to hang some work there so I have been freshening up the series. Here is the first one: Tea Bag on Red, 6″x6″ gallery wrap canvas, acrylic.
