Yesterday I had a delightful private lesson with Olivia and Jacob. They wanted to paint a cat….so we did.
They are 5 and 6 years old. Don’t you think they do wonderful work for such young artists? And we have fun to boot. What more can you ask?!

In our Young Painters classes each week we try to paint different subjects as well as explore different types and styles of art.
Yesterday we worked on a piece of modern art. This almost always turns out to be the favorite of the kids. Especially when we go outside and do splatter painting. They LOVE it! Olivia demonstrates here how to flick the brush. Great job girls!

These elegant lilies were a paint-along that I did with one of my students a few weeks ago. I finally completed mine last night. Lilies, oil on canvas, 24″x12″, available by contacting kwalker@kellywalkerstudios.com .
Day Lilies always make me think of my mom. They were her favorites and they are Allen’s favorites so I have painted a few over the years. I love the way they look when they sprout up naturally out in the county by the road. Mama had them all around the house where we grew up. And now when I see them they always make me smile. I miss my mom.

Wednesday’s Young Artist created these beautiful paintings of lemons this past week. Didn’t they do a great job?
Young artists, ages 7-12, paint with me each week on Wednesday or Thursday, from 4:15-5:15. We create something new each week as they learn about color mixing, composition, the use of painting equipment and much more. If you have a young artist that you would like to paint with us just contact me at kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com to register them for class.
I also have young artists who are a little too old for the Young Artists classes so they join us for adult classes on Wednesday or Thursday from 5:30-7. These classes allow students to develop their skills while working on a subject of their choice while receiving individual instruction. This is Liam, a new student who had excellent drawing skills, working on his fantasy drawing.

I was invited to teach this year’s Adult Leadership Class a lesson in art. Leadership is an excellent program that the Chamber of Commerce offers that studies a different aspect of our community each month. They study in-depth government, education, industry, tourism, law enforcement, art, and much more over the course of the year.
So, of course, for my session on Art, Culture and Tourism day, we all painted.
And everyone embraced their inner artist!
And at the end of our session we had seven new artists! Great job everyone.
