I was thrilled to see at The Barnes Collection that Dr. Barnes hung his art the same way I do…ceiling to floor…mixing artists and styles. He felt that there was much to be learned by having paintings and styles side by side to study them. I have long felt the same way.
I hang my art along with other artists that I have collected. It helps me to improve my own work.
I think that living with art surrounding every day help me helps me to see what I want to become as an artist.

Yesterday afternoon at out Kids Painting Class we painted Lincoln.
Lincoln would love this, of course, because he loves being the center of attention!
And didn’t Logan and Sam do fabulous jobs on their paintings.
And they did this is just one hour. WOW!
Just for a point of reference, this is the photo we used and my demo painting. I didn’t get finished with mine yet. But I will get to it. 🙂

As you know, I work with kids art classes on Wednesday and Thursday at 4:15 at the Blue Ridge Arts Council. And while I attempt to complete a painting, a still life, a landscape, etc., almost every week, this is what they would love to do. Drip paintings or splatter art is one of their favorites. This is a piece I did on wood with them several weeks ago. They love to just drip the paint and see what happens.

The final day of the final week of Art Camp this summer saw us finishing our Warhol Pop Art paintings. Half of the group painted the Warhol Eagle and the other half painted a flamingo in the pop art style of Warhol.
We had a fabulous week of painting. And the favorite part of every art camp week for the kids is the Artist Trading Cards.
Each young artist paints a small painting, the size of a trading card, and then exchanges them with their fellow artists. It’s a nice memento of their week with new friends.

Thursday at Art Camp we worked on a Van Gogh. Since we’ve done Starry Night in the past we decided to something else that Vincent is well-known for, Sunflowers. And didn’t these kids do a great job! Just beautiful.
