A few weeks ago one of my students brought in these acorns for us to paint. Last night the kids class did just that. Didn’t their acorns turn out great? Good job everyone!

The 2nd Annual Chickens in the Road Retreat

Heather, Nancy, Karin and Bill

was held this weekend at Camp Shepherd in West Virginia. (Remember the painting of the chickens I did for a poster a few months back. See it here.) There were a multitude of workshops to choose from where attendees learned everything from painting to cheesemaking to container gardening to apron making and much, much more. There was a diverse group of life-long learners there taking it all in. And they were from all over the United States and even one from Canada! I taught six classes – three for Canvas Painting and three for Gourd Painting. Most of the students shown here had never painted. And didn’t they do a TERRIFIC job. It was so nice being with all the attendees and helping them develop new talents. Tomorrow we will look at the Gourd Painters!

A Bird House Gourd

Here’s another sample gourd that I will be taking to the workshop I am teaching this weekend. This one is a “bird house”. 🙂

I patterned it after one that my mom painted for me over 20 years ago. I treasure it since we lost her to cancer not long after. It was fun painting one in a pattern like she had used.

Painting Party!

Posted in Art Class, daily painter, tagged acrylic, Art Camp, Art Class, daily painter, daily painting, flowers, impressionism, Paint Party, painting parties, Shenandoah Valley, Virginia Artist on September 10, 2012| 1 Comment »

Painting should be fun! As these delightful ladies found out last Friday evening. I was thrilled to paint with them at their “Girls Night Out” and we had a terrific time. Even though a couple were hesitant at first about giving it a try, in the end they were all really glad they did and thrilled with the result.

Painting Parties are great fun for kids or adults. And there are many, many subjects to choose from to tailor it to whatever theme you may have. Check out more information here and contact kwalker@kellywalkerstudios.com to book your party today.

Great job ladies and thanks for all the laughs. I had fun too!

Maddie and Kallie

I was thrilled when a neighbor and fellow dog lover asked me to paint Maddie and Kallie as a farewell gift for a friend that she works with here in town. Their little group wanted to give her something special to remember them and since the lady loved her pitties they did this. And I loved painting them. Such pretty girls.
