Grazing Cow is an oil on canvas panel measuring 6″x8″ and is available for $125.

Cows at Home in the Valley is an oil on canvas panel measuring 9″x12″ and is available for $175.  I really enjoy painting scenes with our mountains in the background.  We are so lucky to live in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley.  Scenery here is amazing!

Randy Raccoon is an oil on canvas panel measuring 5″x7″ and is available for $75.  I painted this piece as a demonstration for Thursday Art Class.  Yes, we now have art class on Thursdays as well as Wednesday.  So if you have been wanting to learn to paint and Wednesday was not a good day for you, contact me to sign up for Thursday class!

I teach a class of  young people (ages 8 – 11) at the Blue Ridge Arts Council on Wednesday’s at 4:15 p.m.  Brooke just joined our group a couple of weeks ago and this is her first painting.

It turned out great!  Good job Brooke.

Jed celebrated the successful opening with a can of food while I had a glass of wine!  Thanks again to everyone for the really nice comments about my work.  And I hope if you are downtown Front Royal you will stop by the Arts Council gallery and see it in person.

Success!

The Opening Reception for the “Minds Wide Open” show was a great success.  Lots of people came; lots of good food and wine!

Many thanks to those who came out last night.  It was a wonderful evening for me and Marlene.  We appreciate the wonderful comments and support.

The art is all hung and set for the opening tonight.  I hope that when I post pictures tomorrow there will be people in them looking at the art!  🙂

After Joan is an acrylic on gallery wrap canvas measuring 24″x12″.   The Joan in the title is Joan Mitchell (no, not the singer) a wonderful abstract artist that produced beautiful paintings.  She is one of the artists that we studied for the upcoming show at the arts council.  The opening reception is tomorrow from 5:30-7 p.m.  Stop by and see these paintings in person.  The scope of the work is very interesting.  We hung the show yesterday and it looks great!

After Helen

After Helen is an acrylic on gallery wrap canvas measuring 36″x48″.  It is part of the upcoming show opening on Thursday at the Blue Ridge Arts Council.

One of the interesting parts of this show is that we studied several prominent women abstract artists and produced our versions of their art.  Helen Frankenthaler was one.  Joan Mitchell was another.  Both of these painters were ahead of their time and did amazing abstract work.

Cosmic Olive

Cosmic Olive is an acrylic on gallery wrap canvas measuring 30″x40″.  It is part of the show that will begin this Thursday at the Blue Ridge Arts Council in Front Royal.  The opening reception is from 5:30 – 7 p.m.  Please join us.
