Stuff, stuff, stuff…….

It’s hard to be a “neat” painter. This is the easel I used for most of the paintings I work on at home. It’s messy but I need my stuff close at hand in able to work effectively.

And it takes a lot of “stuff” not only for painting, but also for framing, matting, hanging, promoting, marketing, etc. An artist’s studio or work area often is filled with materials and “stuff”!

Lighthouse at Martha’s Vineyard, after Ray Ellis is an oil on canvas panel measuring 12″x24″ and is available for $245. This was a demonstration in art class that one of the students asked to do as she is going to visit relatives next month at Martha’s Vineyard and wanted to paint something for them.

Ray Ellis is a wonderful artist who used to live at the Vineyard and now lives in Savannah. He does many wonderful landscapes and still life and we have studied his work.

Don’t forget tonight is 3rd Thursday Art Walk and the Opening Reception for the Member Show at the Blue Ridge Arts Council.

Hollyhocks Mountain View

Posted in daily painter, tagged acrylic, Blue Ridge Arts Council, daily painter, daily painting, Dogs, impressionism, Landscape, Shenandoah Valley, Virginia Artist on June 16, 2010| Leave a Comment »

Hollyhocks Mountain View is an acrylic on canvas panel measuring 10″x8″ available for $195 framed. This painting can be seen at the new Main Street Bookstore along with several other paintings.

I haven’t painted as much over the last week as I would like. It’s been a difficult few weeks with loosing Truman and then Jed got injured over the weekend when he had a run in with a truck! He’s doing ok but is very sore. He’s getting a little better everyday but I’m playing puppy nurse again and that takes quite a bit of time.

This is Jed in his little thundershirt…he’s scared of thunder on top of his injury and with the weather we have been having in the afternoons it just compounds the need for a “nurse”. It’s always something.

Just a reminder that the 3rd Thursday Art Walk is tomorrow evening from 5-8 p.m. in downtown Front Royal. And at 5:30 the reception for the Blue Ridge Arts Council member show will take place. Come to BRAC and check out the 80 new pieces of art that local members have entered. Winners will be announced around 6:15. Please come downtown and enjoy the arts!

Show Comes Down

Posted in Abstract, daily painter, Small Town Life, tagged Abstract, abstract art, acrylic, Blue Ridge Arts Council, daily painter, Gallery Show, Small Town Life, Virginia Artist on June 14, 2010| Leave a Comment »

It’s always exciting when a show goes up but the coming down is kind of sad.

This was my favorite piece in “Minds Wide Open” abstract show that just ended at the Blue Ridge Arts Council.

Now to find a place for all these large paintings.

Maybe some will go to Delilah’s….and some may go to other shops.

The gallery is so empty and sad. Good thing that the Arts Council member show goes up this week. It’s a terrific show featuring new work by arts council members. Don’t forget to stop in and see it. The opening reception will be Thursday at 5:00….same night as the Art Walk downtown. Plan to come down for a great evening of art!
