This little guy is Oliver. He belongs to a wonderful friend in Kentucky and he was so adorable I had to paint his portrait. He is an acrylic on panel measuring 6″x6″. Could he be any cuter?

Jeff’s Sunflowers

Posted in Art Class, tagged acrylic, Art Class, Blue Ridge Arts Council, Dogs, flowers, impressionism, sunflower, sunflowers on December 19, 2013| Leave a Comment »

I love watching students finish paintings that they are working on in class. Jeff paints with us when he is in town and he just completed this wonderful sunflower painting as a Christmas gift. It turned out great and I know they will be thrilled to receive such a wonderful surprise.

You may know Jeff as Breezy’s dad. Breeze comes to class to and we love it when she does. Here’s an old picture of Breeze posing with the kids at art camp one summer. Of course, the kids loved seeing her come in for class! If you are interested in joining a class contact kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com. We would love to have you!

Sam’s Gift is a Hit!

Sam with completed cabin painting

Sam hard at work on the cabin

Last month I had a private painting lesson with Sam. She painted her aunt and uncle’s cabin for them as a surprise Christmas gift.

Her grandmother, Barbara, arranged it all. I got a message yesterday that they got the gift and LOVED it. What’s not to love about that kind of thoughtful gift. And Sam did a SUPER job. What a sweet girl!!!

It’s not too late to give your own gift of art. Book a private lesson and paint a gift for someone you love. Or buy a gift certificate for someone to have something they choose painted like their home or a pet portrait. Or how about a gift certificate for art classes? Lots of ideas for gifts of art. Contact kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com for more information.
