This is my friend Linda’s parrot named Tio. He is a cool bird. He loves her and rides around on her shoulder most of the time giving her kisses and hugs. What a sweet boy!

Betty’s Cheyenne, acrylic on canvas, 12″x12″.
When I did the “Bark for the Park” series there were 48 paintings so of course, there were some breeds that I did not paint. One was the Rottweiler. My friend Betty loves the breed and has had several so she sent me a photo so I could paint one. Thanks Betty.

Degas’s Horses is an acrylic measuring 11″x14″. It is available at the Blue Ridge Arts Council. This demonstration piece is one that I did this summer at Art Camp during famous painters week. One way that artists over the ages have learned to paint is by copying the masters. I simplified Degas’s painting so the kids could paint it.

In September we received a grant from Target to teach an art residency at Warren County Middle School.
I spent the day with 13 wonderful young people who attacked the project with enthusiasm.
The project was part of the 175th Anniversary of Warren County project so we painted pieces that relate to our history both past and present.
Each student painted two 12″x12″ panels that related to government, education, tourism, transportation, or agriculture.
We put these together into four larger panels that will be unveiled this evening at WCMS at 6 pm. If you are downtown this evening and would like to see them in person stop by and help us celebrate these wonderful young artists and their accomplishment!
And many thanks to Target for sponsoring this project; to Linda Kusior and Shelly Brugal, two wonderful artists who assisted us with the class; and the Blue Ridge Arts Council for continuing to bring exciting art projects to young people in our community.
