Last month I had a private painting lesson with Sam.  She painted her aunt and uncle’s cabin for them as a surprise Christmas gift.

Her grandmother, Barbara, arranged it all.  I got a message yesterday that they got the gift and LOVED it.  What’s not to love about that kind of thoughtful gift.  And Sam did a SUPER job.  What a sweet girl!!!

It’s not too late to give your own gift of art.  Book a private lesson and paint a gift for someone you love.  Or buy a gift certificate for someone to have something they choose painted like their home or a pet portrait.  Or how about a gift certificate for art classes?  Lots of ideas for gifts of art.  Contact kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com for more information.

River view Boys Landscape classA few weeks ago I took a photo of the Shenandoah River while walking down the path to the dog park.  It was the perfect reference photo for a landscape painting for the kids class this week.  I had four boys….what a challenge.  🙂  They made beautiful paintings of our lovely fall landscape here in the Shenandoah Valley.  Great job!

Joy with beach

Joy is one of my Thursday students that often tells people that she was scared to come to her first art class.  But then she will reassure them that she is glad she did because she loves the paintings she is creating as well as the fellowship with her fellow students.  Great job Joy!  We are glad you joined us.

If you would like to paint be sure to check out more information here or contact Kelly at kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com to register.  We would love to have you.
