We did a holiday painting yesterday in kid’s class. Their tree limbs with holiday ornaments turned out so good. Fabulous everyone! (Remember kids class is every Thursday at 4:15 for kids ages 7-13. Register your young artist today for next weeks class.)
And as a bonus, Blaze came by class with his kids. 🙂

A 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 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.

The opening last night for the Painted Diamonds show was a great success. We had a nice crowd and while I didn’t have much of a chance to take pictures I did snap a few early during the evening with my phone camera. I think some of my friends took more photos so hopefully I will get some more later.
The show will run through November 8. Stop by to see it.

Today is the opening day of the 2013 World Series and the opening day of the Painted Diamonds Art Exhibit. We hung the show yesterday at the Blue Ridge Arts Council in Front Royal and it looks great! It was a little strange to see six months of hard work all hanging together there. I still can’t believe it’s a reality.
Many thanks again to all the Kickstarter backers who made it happen. Your names are listed here on my blog and on the Kickstarter page. You made this happen. My appreciation to each of you for your belief in this project.
The Opening Reception is tonight from 6-8 p,m. Stop down at the Arts Council at 305 E. Main Street in Front Royal to see the exhibit and have some ball park food. Have a hot dog or maybe some cracker jacks and say hello. Hope to see you there.

We had the October 1st Saturday Paint Party yesterday and what a good time we had! Everyone did a fabulous job on their floral painting. While we used the same techniques they all turned out so different. I love it! Super work everyone. The November 1st Saturday Paint Party will be November 2 from 4-6:30 at the Blue Ridge Arts Council. We will be painting a landscape. Consider joining us to create your own “masterpiece”.
