Table Rock
Right before Christmas I received a commission to paint three paintings of scenes in the North Carolina mountains. The client had spent considerable time in the area as a child with his family and wanted to have these paintings done as gifts for his brothers. This is the first of the three.
Table Rock, acrylic on canvas panel, 8″x10″.

Tea with Red Background
I have been working on a couple of new paintings in the “Tea” series. We have a new Chocolate and Tea shop in town, Shenandoah Confections at 126 E. Main Street, that has asked me to hang some work there so I have been freshening up the series. Here is the first one: Tea Bag on Red, 6″x6″ gallery wrap canvas, acrylic.

I have painted this view many times. It is the one we see as we look west from our little town. This one, Signal Knob for Cindy, is a 4″ x 12″ acrylic on gallery wrap canvas and was a Christmas gift for a friend who doesn’t live here any longer.

Maggie’s Painting

Maggie, the Blue Tick Heeler, is another commission I did for Christmas.
Maggie is an acrylic on 12″x12″ canvas. I was just told yesterday that she was a big hit with her recipient. I like hearing that.

“Walking the Boardwalk”
Reference photo
I was thrilled to be asked over the last month or two to do several commissions this Christmas. I have been waiting to post them on my blog so that I would not spoil the surprise for those receiving them as gifts. Now I can share them with you.
“Walking the Boardwalk” is a watercolor of a father with his kids walking down a boardwalk. I love the image that was sent to me so it was a really fun piece to do.

Rex Painting
Rex Reference Photo
Rex, a beautiful border collie, is a commission that I did as a Christmas present. I just got this message on Facebook from Sue, the recipient: “Thank you so much for doing a painting of my dog Rex (border collie) for my brother as a gift to me. It is just beautiful!”
I love hearing back from people who have received presents.

Yesterday afternoon we had the Kid’s “Paint Your Own Pet Portrait” Workshop. It was so much fun!!!! The kids did superb work on their portraits. We had dogs, cats, and horses. They were all so different and all so good! Great job young artists. I love seeing the enthusiasm of young painters creating beautiful art.
Many thanks to my good friend and great painter, Linda, who helped with this large group. Couldn’t have done it without your help.
We have an adult workshop today from 4-7. Let me know if you want to come join us.

Oliver Portrait (bottom)
This little guy is Oliver. He belongs to a wonderful friend in Kentucky and he was so adorable I had to paint his portrait. He is an acrylic on panel measuring 6″x6″. Could he be any cuter?
