Gingerbread House for the Dogs!

December 9, 2011 by kellywalkerstudios

The Main Street Daily Grind is holding a gingerbread house event. When you stop into the Grind please vote for mine! I hadn’t planned to enter one but my friend, Janet, is persistent so here is my entry.

I’m sure you are shocked to find that it is “dog” themed. The rules said it has to be eatable, but it didn’t say edible by whom!

Here is a close-up of the front. You can see the milk bones on the roof and over the door. There is even a note to Santa telling him that “I’ve been a good puppy all year”. Of course, that is NOT from Lincoln.

It was a lot of fun to decorated.

Now if you are at the Daily Grind please vote for this one! Thanks.

Tio

This is my friend Linda’s parrot named Tio. He is a cool bird. He loves her and rides around on her shoulder most of the time giving her kisses and hugs. What a sweet boy!

Betty’s Cheyenne

December 7, 2011 by kellywalkerstudios

Betty’s Cheyenne, acrylic on canvas, 12″x12″.

When I did the “Bark for the Park” series there were 48 paintings so of course, there were some breeds that I did not paint. One was the Rottweiler. My friend Betty loves the breed and has had several so she sent me a photo so I could paint one. Thanks Betty.

Degas’ Horses

November 30, 2011 by kellywalkerstudios

Degas’s Horses is an acrylic measuring 11″x14″. It is available at the Blue Ridge Arts Council. This demonstration piece is one that I did this summer at Art Camp during famous painters week. One way that artists over the ages have learned to paint is by copying the masters. I simplified Degas’s painting so the kids could paint it.
