North Entrance, Shenandoah National Park

Posted in daily painter, Travel, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on April 20, 2011| Leave a Comment »

Yesterday I was asked if I ever have time to paint since I have been teaching so much lately.  And the answer is yes!  Of course, with the Anniversary project I did with the 4th graders I painted a sample painting so their were about a dozen different subjects that I worked on so that I could simplify subjects for them to paint.

This painting is a spin-off of that.  I painted North Entrance, an acrylic on 20″x30″ canvas, for the current show at the Blue Ridge Arts Council celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the Park.  You can see it at BRAC for the next month.  There is some lovely work in the show.  Take the time to stop in and take a look.

Tiger Cubs Painting Class

Posted in Art Class, tagged , , , , , , , , , on April 18, 2011| Leave a Comment »

A few weeks ago one of the moms of one of my Thursday Young Artists asked if I might teach her Tiger Cub scouts a lesson in color mixing and painting. 

Last Wednesday, we held that class.  Here they are working on their painting.  That’s my friend Shelly helping me with the large group.

They were very enthusiastic and seemed to really enjoy painting.  The only mishap was when I accidentally dropped a paint brush on one boys head when I was trying to help him.  No permanent damage, just a little green paint in his hair.  Oops!

They did a terrific job…eight beautiful paintings of the mountain and river!

“Dog Show”

Posted in daily painter, Dogs, Pet Portaits, tagged , , , , , , on April 8, 2011| Leave a Comment »

I was asked a couple of times this week about the “Bark for the Park” Art Show and Sale.  It’s not too late to see it.  It will be hanging at the Community Center until May 15th. 

And it’s certainly not too late to purchase a painting to help the park.  Just contact Kym at the Blue Ridge Arts Council or me to let us know which painting you would like.  Just like this little Lhaso Apso, all the paintings in this show are 12″x12″ acrylic on canvas and priced at $125 with all the proceeds going to the park.  You can also scroll back through the posting on this blog to see the paintings and select from one that hasn’t yet sold.

Or if you would just like to support the park you can send a donation to the Warren County Dog Park Association, c/o Kelly Walker, 939 S. Marshall St., Front Royal, VA  22630.  Any amount is welcomed and appreciated!

Painting with Leslie Fox Keyser Elementary

Posted in Art Class, daily painter, Small Town Life, tagged , , , , , , on April 1, 2011| Leave a Comment »

This week I worked with the 4th grade students at Leslie Fox Keyser Elementary School to produce the 175th Anniversary Painting.  The first day Doug Stanley, County Administrator, reviewed the history of Warren County while I gave an overview of the material we would use in the paintings.

I also did a quick demo of some of the brush strokes they would use as well as a color mixing demo of certain colors they would use.  They seemed fascinated.

Then on the second day of the project they started painting.  I will share more of their work soon.  Today was their final day of painting and Hagerstown TV came to do a story.  The kids were so excited.  Take a look at the story here.
