Finishing Something…

Posted in daily painter, tagged , , , , , , , on August 25, 2010| Leave a Comment »

About six weeks ago while out for a visit at the cabin, I went out with Jed and set up to paint a nice view on top of the mountain.

It was a really nice day and I got started before the sun got to be too awfully hot.

One thing about painting on location is that you have to get started quickly and paint because the light is always changing. 

I try to move along quickly but sometimes I get distracted by Jed.  🙂

I get as far along as I possible can while on location.

And then when I get back to my studio I put on the finishing touches and try to make it a painting that’s ready to frame.

This is the finished product of Sunday in Plein Air, and oil on canvas measuring 12″x24″ and available for $245 (or $295 framed).

Plum Jelly Time

Posted in Small Town Life, tagged , , , , on August 24, 2010| 1 Comment »

It’s plum time again.  Last week while at the cabin, the boys and I walked past the plum trees everyday and when we got ready to leave we picked enough to make jelly.

I enjoy making jelly and jams and plum is one of my favorites.  I posted the process when I made jelly last year.  You can see it here.  (You can even see Truman in the final picture.  We miss him.)

Now to paint the picture….

Helping Haiti

Posted in daily painter, Small Town Life, tagged , , , , , , on August 20, 2010| Leave a Comment »

The Blue Ridge Arts Council (BRAC) is helping with a Haiti project for schools.  There are several really large wooden boxes that they have asked to have painted that will be filled with supplies for school children and delivered soon.  Our job, as volunteer artists, is to paint them in fun and exciting ways.  I am working on a checkerboard top for one of the boxes.

Another artist worked on painting a scene on the box.  These should be finished  very soon and will be on the way to Haiti to aid the children there.

Guest Students

Posted in Art Class, daily painter, tagged , , , , , , , , on August 19, 2010| 3 Comments »

One of my regular Art Class students asked me a few weeks ago if I would work with her grandchildren when they visited this month.  And, of course, I said yes.  And boy did they turn out to be the most delightful kids.  Evan and Lane are from Washington, DC but were here for a few days visiting the grandparents.

They came in with the best attitudes about taking the class and were all about having a good time and learning.  What fun that makes it for me.  🙂

And for their first time in painting class, they both did an excellent job!  Don’t you think?

Come back anytime.  You were both so much fun.

Finally….

Posted in Dogs, Sale, tagged , , on August 10, 2010| Leave a Comment »

Just because my computer didn’t have internet connection for three days didn’t mean the boys had to stop playing.  They have still been hard at playing!  But I haven’t been able to play, or work, or anything!  It is amazing how lost we are now without internet connection.  YIKES!

But now it’s fixed.  And because it happened at the end of my Dog Days of Summer Sale I am extending the sale prices until Wednesday.  Please scroll back through the offerings and let me know if you would like any of the paintings listed at these sale prices by contacting me a kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com .  And tomorrow we will begin posting new paintings.  🙂
