Spent the last couple of days gathering up supplies to go to see my friend in West Virginia who is having me do some paintings on her new studio walls. She is Jack’s mom. This is Jack. He is part of the “Farm Animal” series that I painted a few years ago. I’m sure I will get loads more material to paint while there.

Shenandoah Fishermen, oil on canvas panel, 11″x14″. This is a painting that I started while painting at the boat landing on Luray Avenue in Front Royal a few weeks ago. I had almost finished laying in the composition when these fisherman rode up and stopped. They added the perfect finishing touch to this painting.

Lincoln and Dixie, acrylic on canvas, 14″x18″. Dixie is a dog in our neighborhood that loves to come visit us…usually without her parents permission. She is quite the escape artist. We welcome her visits as Lincoln loves her. You can read a little more about Dixie here.

While in Newport recently I had an opportunity to drive around taking reference photos. This one of the Oreo cow is one of my favorites. They are actually called Belted Galloways but I think they look like Oreos. Dorothy and I painted them last week in class. You can read more about them here.

The Dog Walker, oil on canvas panel, 14″x11″.
A few weeks ago while down at the river painting I turned around to look behind me and there was this gentleman walking his buddy. I had to take a photo quick before they were gone down the trail. I just love they look.

I got a chance to paint with the Plein Air Painters again today.
We painted at the Luray Avenue Boat Landing so I got to work on a painting I started there a few weeks ago. It’s almost finished and I’ll post in soon. But I wanted to show something a little different. I had only about 5 minutes to do a quick sketch before I had to pack up to leave so I sketched this scene to work on in the studio. Thought it might be interesting for you to see what the very beginnings looks like.
