“Chickens in the Road”

Posted in daily painter, Farm Animals, tagged daily painter, daily painting, farm animals, impressionism, Landscape, oil painting, Virginia Artist on February 18, 2012| 4 Comments »

A few days ago I told you about my friend Suzanne McMinn with a blog called Chickens in the Road. I am painting this in order to make a poster for her upcoming Retreat.

I took a few photos of he painting along the way so that I could show you the progress.

And this is how it turned out. “Chickens in the Road” is an oil painting on canvas measuring 16″x20″. I think it will work well for a poster for the upcoming retreat. All of the attendees will receive one as a memento of the weekend. I’m looking forward to it as I will be teaching some painting sessions. You can see more about them on the workshop tab above or here.

More hearts. The one on the left I did with the Thursday Kids Class and the one with the dark background I painted with the ladies at The Southerlands.

We had a wonderful time painting abstract hearts as valentines for our “sweethearts”.

Westminster Champion – Hickory

The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show begins this evening in New York City. This lovely lady is Hickory Wind, winner of last year’s show. And local resident…she lives in Flint Hill. We had the good fortune to meet her last March when she came to the Opening Reception of the Bark for the Park art show. The painting of her is acrylic, 12″x12″ on gallery wrap canvas.

We wish her a happy retirement. And hope you will all watch the show and remember to rescue your best friends. There are so many who need you.

Dog Park I & II

Posted in Dogs, tagged daily painter, Dog Park, Dogs, impressionism, pet portrait, Rescue dogs, Small Town Life, Virginia Artist, watercolor on February 3, 2012| 2 Comments »

Dog Park I & II are two watercolor paintings that I did about 5 years ago as the first fundraiser for the Off-Leash Dog Park. These pieces were raffled and then we made prints to sell all to benefit the park. Prints are still available at Delilah’s with the proceeds benefiting the park fund.

Hard to believe that we’ve been working on building an off-leash park for that long but we have. The good news is that we are working on our final fundraiser. It’s a raffle also. (We’ve come full circle!) We call it the Westminster Dog Show Raffle because we have tied it to the show coming up February 13-14, 2012. If you want to help just buy at ticket for $10. The number on your raffle ticket will be randomly assigned to one of the 185 breeds showing this year at Westminster. If your dog wins, you win $350. You have a 1 in 185 chance to win.

We will be at Petco in Front Royal Saturday beginning at 10:00 to sell tickets. Stop in and get yours. Or stop by Delilah’s. We have tickets there too. Or contact me at kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com and I’ll get a ticket to you. When we finish this fundraiser we’ll be ready to break ground. Can I hear a Halleluiah!!!!!
