Here is the Wednesday Kid’s class art from yesterday.  And thanks to Shelly for taking the photo so I could be in it with them.  I am continually amazed at how much these kids get done in just an hour!

Pumpkin Pie Kids!

The kids classes this week painted pumpkin pie…just in time for Thanksgiving.  They all did great jobs!

And I’m really proud of Sophie.  She’s been painting with me in the kids class for quite a while now and last night she moved to the adult oil painting class.  This is her first attempt with oils.   Good job Sophie!

Art in the Carolinas

Posted in daily painter, Travel, tagged , , , , , , on November 12, 2010| Leave a Comment »

In order to keep doing this, painting daily, I have to spend some time buying supplies as well as keeping abreast of what other artists are doing.  One way I do this is to go annually to Raleigh, NC to Art in the Carolina, a huge art supply trade show and workshop event sponsored by Jerry’s Artarama, my favorite artist supply store and catalog.  I love going.  It’s great fun to watch the demonstrations, check out the new products, and pick up supplies at great prices.

A big plus is that my artist friends from Kentucky come and I get to spend time with them including my former teacher and artist mentor, Barbara Gardner.  It is always good to catch up with friends.  I’ll let you know what all I learn as soon as I return.  🙂

Caution: Artists at Work!

Posted in Art Class, tagged , , , , on September 20, 2010| 1 Comment »

I didn’t want my Adult Art Class to feel neglected since I have been posting so many of my young students lately so here is Shelly and Marlene painting away last Wednesday Night.

And Jean and Pat were right across the table working just as hard.

We have such a good time together painting.  If you have ever wanted to learn to paint or if you are a painter and want to join a fun group, come paint with us on Wednesday or Thursday evenings at the Blue Ridge Arts Council on Main Street in Front Royal.

View of the Mountains XIV

Posted in Art Class, daily painter, tagged , , , , , , , on September 2, 2010| Leave a Comment »

View of the Mountains XIV is an oil on canvas measuring 9″x12″ and is available for $165. 

This is a view that I have painted many times as I use this photograph when teaching new students.  I like it because it gives someone new to painting an opportunity to learn color mixing as well as several different compositional lessons.

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.

Children’s Art

This is Charlee.  You’ve seen her before on my blog as she is one of my best young students.  She really has an eye for art and loves it.  Recently we had a private session where she painted this portrait of her cousin, Austin.  She did it for his birthday.  I think it turned out fabulous.  I especially love the way “Woody” is peeking in the corner of the painting.  Great job Charlee!

Tony just joined our Wednesday Art Class.  This is the first painting that he completed with me.  We were very impressed with how great it was.  Keep painting Tony.  You are doing a super job!
