Spring Explosion II

Posted in Abstract, daily painter, tagged , , , , on September 9, 2010| Leave a Comment »

At the first of the year for the abstract show that I did I painted a piece called Spring Explosion.  It was very popular.  In fact, it sold to a collector on the Virginia coast.  (You can see the original Spring Explosion by clicking here.)  

I decided to paint a smaller version of the idea.   First I prepped the canvas.

Then I started adding some texture and the vase.

Now for more color.

And I keep adding color until I like the way it looks.  Finally a frame, and it’s done.

Spring Explosion II is an acrylic on canvas measuring 24″x30″ and is available for $295.

Yesterday at Art Class my young students painted a beach scene. They had requested that we do a beach landscape several weeks ago.  So we did.  And didn’t they do a fabulous job!!!   Keep in mind that the class is only an hour-long and they did this in that time.  Good work everybody!  

 

(This is the demo that I did for them.)

Helping Haiti

Posted in daily painter, Small Town Life, tagged , , , , , , on August 20, 2010| Leave a Comment »

The Blue Ridge Arts Council (BRAC) is helping with a Haiti project for schools.  There are several really large wooden boxes that they have asked to have painted that will be filled with supplies for school children and delivered soon.  Our job, as volunteer artists, is to paint them in fun and exciting ways.  I am working on a checkerboard top for one of the boxes.

Another artist worked on painting a scene on the box.  These should be finished  very soon and will be on the way to Haiti to aid the children there.

Guest Students

Posted in Art Class, daily painter, tagged , , , , , , , , on August 19, 2010| 3 Comments »

One of my regular Art Class students asked me a few weeks ago if I would work with her grandchildren when they visited this month.  And, of course, I said yes.  And boy did they turn out to be the most delightful kids.  Evan and Lane are from Washington, DC but were here for a few days visiting the grandparents.

They came in with the best attitudes about taking the class and were all about having a good time and learning.  What fun that makes it for me.  🙂

And for their first time in painting class, they both did an excellent job!  Don’t you think?

Come back anytime.  You were both so much fun.
