This is a painting that I did a few years ago while at Hilton Head. I’m looking forward to being there again this week and having some time to go out and paint!

Farewell Little White House

November 18, 2012 by kellywalkerstudios

After 8 1/2 years going to this little cabin in West Virginia we have given it up. Now with the off-leash dog park here in town we don’t need to go to the cabin for the dogs to run off the leash. It was a perfect relaxing little spot that I have loved.

It was an amazing place to paint both inside and out around the farm. I have many wonderful memories of days out painting with my dogs running around playing. Today I will load the last of our things and bring them home. Goodby Little White House.

Some Days You Just Have to Play

November 15, 2012 by kellywalkerstudios

My morning routine involves getting a cup of coffee and heading to the computer to write my daily post for this blog. Since Mamie arrived it has been harder and harder to do quickly because her morning routine involves playing with a squeaky toy. And she is very persistent. She will place the toy at your feet and look up with those eyes. And if you don’t keep picking it up and throwing it for her she will politely place it in your lap. I guess that’s the terrier in her. Did I mention she’s very persistent???!!!

Anyone Can Paint

November 13, 2012 by kellywalkerstudios

I was asked to speak and do a demonstration painting for the Front Royal Christian Women’s Connection at Shenandoah Country Club last week. Their theme for the month was “Anyone Can Paint”. And I was thrilled they invited me to share. I had 15 minutes to do this little painting and to talk about how I got started painting. As you know I am always telling people that all they need to paint is desire. I really think anyone who is interested in painting can do it. And that is why I love teaching and helping people develop their desire to paint. If you’d like to try it contact kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com for more info or check it out here.
