Just Jack II

Just Jack II is an oil on canvas panel measuring 6″x8″.  This is the second version of Jack that I have done.  It was a special order. 

The first Jack can be seen by clicking here.

OMG!  What a night!  The artists at Delilah’s greeted children with Halloween candy.  We thought we had plenty this year but once again we ran out after an hour.  Here is Fortune Teller Jackie giving candy to the wonderfully dressed up children.

We were so overwhelmed by the crowd that we had to take turns.  Here’s Fortune Teller Kelly helping out.  

The lines wound down the street.

And when we ran out of candy the Fortune Tellers went to work telling the “future” to  all those brave enough to dare.

Many thanks to Jackie Bourque who did a great job with the kids telling wonderfully uplifting fortunes to the little ones.

And the kids went all out with their costumes.  There were some of the cutest kids there.  Thanks to everyone who came out and made the Hometown Halloween a huge success.  And we hope to see all of you back at Delilah’s for your holiday shopping!  🙂

6 More Pumpkins!

A full class of young art students yesterday produced six more pumpkins!  Good job everyone.

This was the demonstration that i did yesterday afternoon for my young art students.

And here is the result of their paintings.  Notice Spenser finished up a painting he had started the week before – A Sword in the Stone. 

Hannah and Kiane painted the Pumpkin Patch.  Good job everyone!

This view of the mountains with hanging cloud is one I started at the festival as a demo a few weeks ago.  I still have a little more I’d like to do to it.

I love the way the clouds hang in between the mountains, especially this time of the year. 

These are a couple of reference photos I took while out at the cabin a few weeks ago.  They give me something to work with on the hanging cloud scene.

Mountain Evening

 Mountain Evening is an acrylic quick study measuring 8″x10″ and is available for $35 by contacting kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com .

Usually I only take 5 or 6 students in my kids class, but yesterday, for some reason, I had 9!!!!   Yikes.  Several showed up who haven’t been attending for a while; one brought a little brother to paint with us and I had two new students that joined us because they saw me painting at the festival last week.

Hopefully, I will get it straightened out before next week and we’ll be back down to 4 or 5  for each session.  Even with the large number, they all did a great job!

Jed’s Gift

One of the “joys” of painting on location when you take Jed and Lincoln is that you often are presented with gifts! 

Here is Jed bringing a “gift” to us while we were working.

Here is a close-up of the “gift” – a deer skull with some hair still attached!  YUCK!!!

After accepting the “gift”, I placed it on top of the Explorer while we finished painting so that Jed and Lincoln wouldn’t fight over it and gnaw on it the rest of the morning.   Did I say YUCK???!!!!

Lincoln got bored with waiting for me to take it down off the top of the truck and give it back.

So he kept jumping into the back of Susan’s vehicle every time the door opened.  He loved spending time with Faith and Harley.  I’m not sure Harley was as enthusiastic about Lincoln being in his space.
