Hollyhocks Mountain View is an acrylic on canvas panel measuring 10″x8″ available for $195 framed.  This painting can be seen at the new Main Street Bookstore along with several other paintings.

I haven’t painted as much over the last week as I would like.  It’s been a difficult few weeks with loosing Truman and then Jed got injured over the weekend when he had a run in with a truck!  He’s doing ok but is very sore.  He’s getting a little better everyday but I’m playing puppy nurse again and that takes quite a bit of time.

This is Jed in his little thundershirt…he’s scared of thunder on top of his injury and with the weather we have been having in the afternoons it just compounds the need for a “nurse”.   It’s always something. 

Just a reminder that the 3rd Thursday Art Walk is tomorrow evening from 5-8 p.m. in downtown Front Royal.  And at 5:30 the reception for the Blue Ridge Arts Council member show will take place.  Come to BRAC and check out the 80 new pieces of art that local members have entered.  Winners will be announced around 6:15.  Please come downtown and enjoy the arts!

It’s always exciting when a show goes up but the coming down is kind of sad. 

This was my favorite piece in “Minds Wide Open” abstract show that just ended at the Blue Ridge Arts Council.

Now to find a place for all these large paintings. 

Maybe some will go to Delilah’s….and some may go to other shops.

The gallery is so empty and sad.  Good thing that the Arts Council  member show goes up this week.  It’s a terrific show featuring new work by arts council members.  Don’t forget to stop in and see it.  The opening reception will be Thursday at 5:00….same night as the Art Walk downtown.  Plan to come down for a great evening of art!

Tangerine is an acrylic on canvas measuring 24″x30″.  This is another piece that I have just completed for the BRAC member show coming up later this month. 

I was asked again recently if I would take pictures during the process of painting to post along with the completed piece.  I did take a photo of the start of this one but I get wrapped up in painting and forget to take more.  I’ll try to do better and post the process more soon.

Red Blooms Diptych is an acrylic on gallery wrap canvas measuring 20″x32″.  SOLD.  This is a painting that I did for the upcoming member show at the Blue Ridge Arts Council.

The show opens on June 17th, the same night as the 3rd Thursday Art Walk in downtown Front Royal.  It’s my favorite show each year that BRAC displays because all the members enter works they have been doing during the year and everyone has such different styles.  I love to see it all together.  Mark your calendar now so that you can be there for the opening reception.

Every  Wednesday at  4:15 p.m. you can find me at the Blue Ridge Arts Council with my young students working on a painting.  This is what Isabella (left) and Brooke painted last Wednesday. 

Didn’t they do a great job?

Join us from 5-8 p.m. tonight for the 3rd Thursday Art Walk.  I will be painting at the Blue Ridge Arts Council and I invite you to join me.  Tonight’s theme is “Minds Wide Open” and we will be working on abstract pieces…and you can join in.  I’ll have all the supplies.  You just come ready to paint!!!

And abstract doesn’t always mean non-representational.  As you can see here there is a representational element to abstract art as well.  Come on down and see more.

Tomorrow is the 3rd Thursday Art Walk.  Each 3rd Thursday in downtown Front Royal many shops extend their hours until 8 p.m. and from 5-8 p.m. artists demonstrate at several locations.  Tomorrow not only will they demonstrate but they will encourage viewers to paint as well. 

The theme for tomorrow’s art walk is “Minds Wide Open”, the same theme as my current show at the arts council.  Marlene  Kline and I will be at BRAC, 305 East Main Street, demonstrating and hopefully helping you paint an abstract work of art. 

Please join us and try your hand at painting.  We’d love to see you there.

Shown here today are some of the abstract works in the current show that Marlene and I have on display at BRAC.
