Degas’s Horses is an acrylic measuring 11″x14″. It is available at the Blue Ridge Arts Council. This demonstration piece is one that I did this summer at Art Camp during famous painters week. One way that artists over the ages have learned to paint is by copying the masters. I simplified Degas’s painting so the kids could paint it.

I have spent the last few days trying to pull together about 35 paintings for an invitational show at the Blue Ridge Arts Council. I deliver the paintings today and they will hang through the holiday season.
Joining me in the show is Terri Nicholson who also teaches art classes. We were asked to show many of the demonstration pieces that we have done for our classes. The great thing about these paintings is that they sell at lower prices because we generally don’t spend as much time on them as we do a painting that we work on in our studios. But they are still wonderful original pieces of art…and they are really affordable.
So stop by the Blue Ridge Arts Council and see the show.
Bee on Coneflower, oil, 6×6, $125.

At the Festival of Leaves last Saturday I worked on a couple of the Farm Animal series paintings.
The first was Mean Rooster from Suzanne’s farm. You can read more about him here.
This was the beginning of the painting.
And I made progress on it throughout the day.
And here’s Mean Rooster nearly finished. This is an oil painting on 8″x6″ canvas panel. He is part of the Farm Animal Series that you can see at Delilah’s on Main Street in Front Royal.

Suzanne’s Scarecrow, acrylic on panel, 6″x8″, $135. This is another in the farm animal series that I started a few years ago thanks to Chicken’s in the Road’s Suzanne McMinn. She has a terrific blog; check it out. And she takes fabulous photos of her animals and has graciously allowed me to use them as inspiration for this series. Thanks again Suzanne. We all love your babies!
