The Rincon House

January 5, 2010 by kellywalkerstudios

The Rincon House is an oil on 9″x12″ canvas panel. I just finished it yesterday. I started it while on vacation last week. It is my brother’s family house in Rincon, Georgia. I got to see them while away last week and we had a nice visit. I showed them the beginning of the painting and promised to wrap it up this week and get it ready to send to them. Now I just have to wait for the paint to dry. 🙂

Riding the Drive

January 4, 2010 by kellywalkerstudios

Riding the Drive is an oil on 12″x12″ gallery wrap 1 1/2″ canvas. This painting was done as a Christmas gift for Allen who loves bicycling on the Skyline Drive. We live in an area where there are so many beautiful scenes to paint especially scenes from Skyline Drive across the Shenandoah Valley.

This is the beginning of a new painting year. Last year ended with 216 paintings done over the course of the year. I am working on a plan for this years goals and should have something ready to share this week. Until then I will continue with the daily work.

Happy New Year!

January 1, 2010 by kellywalkerstudios

Truman says to lay around, hang out, and relax this new year’s day. (Yes, that is a sofa that he laying on the back of…he thinks he’s a cat sometimes.)

Don’t worry, there will be plenty of time to paint in the upcoming year. Happy New Year!

Remembering Choco

December 29, 2009 by kellywalkerstudios

“Remembering Choco” is an oil on 9″x12″ canvas panel. He was a gift from a mom to son who had recently lost his German Shorthair Pointer.

Pointers are gorgeous dogs full of life and intensity. This painting was done as a composite since I didn’t have a photo of Choco. But I did have several photos of German Shorthair Pointers that I have taken over the years including this one which is one of my favorites. He looks so great against the red barn wall.

Jake Walsh

December 28, 2009 by kellywalkerstudios

“Jake Walsh” is an oil on canvas panel measuring 8″x10″. He was a Christmas present from his human sister to their mom and dad.

Jake is a sweet long-haired dachshund that lives in Warrenton, Virginia.

I did several pet portrait commissions over the last few weeks but didn’t post them on the blog so as not to spoil the surprise in case any of the recipients view my blog. So this week I can post all these lovely babies.
