North Entrance, Shenandoah National Park

Posted in daily painter, Travel, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on April 20, 2011| Leave a Comment »

Yesterday I was asked if I ever have time to paint since I have been teaching so much lately.  And the answer is yes!  Of course, with the Anniversary project I did with the 4th graders I painted a sample painting so their were about a dozen different subjects that I worked on so that I could simplify subjects for them to paint.

This painting is a spin-off of that.  I painted North Entrance, an acrylic on 20″x30″ canvas, for the current show at the Blue Ridge Arts Council celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the Park.  You can see it at BRAC for the next month.  There is some lovely work in the show.  Take the time to stop in and take a look.

Painting with Leslie Fox Keyser Elementary

Posted in Art Class, daily painter, Small Town Life, tagged , , , , , , on April 1, 2011| Leave a Comment »

This week I worked with the 4th grade students at Leslie Fox Keyser Elementary School to produce the 175th Anniversary Painting.  The first day Doug Stanley, County Administrator, reviewed the history of Warren County while I gave an overview of the material we would use in the paintings.

I also did a quick demo of some of the brush strokes they would use as well as a color mixing demo of certain colors they would use.  They seemed fascinated.

Then on the second day of the project they started painting.  I will share more of their work soon.  Today was their final day of painting and Hagerstown TV came to do a story.  The kids were so excited.  Take a look at the story here.

Okay, just one more day….

Posted in daily painter, Dogs, tagged , , on March 31, 2011| 2 Comments »

Okay.  I promise I will stop posting photos of Hickory soon.  But I couldn’t resist showing a couple of more shots from the Opening Reception Tuesday evening of the “Bark for the Park” Art Show.  This cutie is Whill Stanley, Doug’s son.  He was really enjoying petting Hickory.  And I want to say thanks to Doug who is our county administrator and who has really helped to move the dog park project forward. 

 

And this little sweetie is Max Napier, the grandson of our friends Kathy and Doug.  He was loving Hickory too.

I was really thrilled that so many little people were brought to the reception to meet Hickory. 

And this fun shot of me with Hickory was taken by my friend and animal lover, Jennie Gosche’. 

Many thanks again to Hickory and her family for supporting the event and especially for supporting the park!

The Opening Reception for the “Bark for the Park” Art Show and Sale was  a huge success.  We had a great turnout.  And of course, the most popular girl at the party was Hickory, winner of Westminster.  She was such a good sport.  She came early and stayed the whole evening so everyone could pet her, have pictures made, etc.  What a good sport!  Thanks girl to you and your family. 

And many thanks to everyone who came and purchased paintings and made donations to the dog park.  I know we will raise the money we need so we can start building the park soon.

This is two happy girls….Hickory and Carson!
