Charlotte working on her painting.
I especially enjoy the class I teach at The Southerlands on Tuesdays when Charlotte is there. She has been in the hospital the last few weeks so we are really happy that she feels better and she’s back to painting. She is an excellent artist and it’s fun to work with her. Glad you are better Charlotte.

The kids class painted snowmen paintings this week. And we did two so that they would have extras to give as gifts to grandparents or friends. They did a great job on these to get them done in just one hour! Wow. Great job guys.

When I am on a roll painting I get up early and grab a cup of coffee and then generally take a sheet of watercolor paper divided into 6 or 8 pieces and do several quick warm-up paintings. I try not to spend but about 15 minutes working on these just to help me loosen up and get some color ideas. Sometimes I like what turns out. Yesterday while cleaning up pile of old warm-ups I came across several I like. I put them in a mat and liked them even more. So here is Warm-up in Orange and Warm-up in Green, acrylic on watercolor paper, available for $25 each.

Miss Gaylor is one of my oldest students. She paints with me each week at The Southerlands. And she prefers painting strawberries if at all possible. This past Tuesday she painted these. She always tells me she can’t see what she is painting but I don’t believe her. Didn’t she do great? Read more about Miss Gaylor here.

Yesterday we painted a pumpkin in the kids class at the Blue Ridge Arts Council. If you have a young artist, ages 7-12, that would like to paint with us, contact kwalker@kellywalkerstudios.com for information. We would love to have them join us.

Here is what I love about my Tuesdays. Yesterday I taught my group at The Southerlands. This is Miss Gaylor with her strawberry. She loves painting strawberries and has painted at least a dozen. And every time she tells me about her daughter who has a strawberry birthmark. 🙂
And then after The Southerlands ladies I meet with Jacob, my youngest painter. He informed me that he is 6 and 3/4. He is the one who brought me the acorns for us to paint. And didn’t he do a great job on his?! Thanks Jacob.
