 Schnauzer is an acrylic on 12″x12″ canvas.  And thanks to a generous collector in Front Royal, he was purchased with proceeds going to help build the Off-leash dog park.  Many thanks.

The “Bark for the Park” series is on display at the Daily Grind on Main Street in Front Royal.  Stop in and take a look.  And if you would like to help us build the dog park, send a donation to Warren County Dog Park Association, 939 S. Marshall St., Front Royal, VA  22630.  We are so close to our goal.  Please help if you can!

 Lucy II is an acrylic on canvas.  This is the second painting of Lucy.  the first was one I did for the “Bark for the Park” series and it was purchased in the spring.  But Lucy is my cousin’s dog and she wanted a version of Lucy so this one was finally completed and mailed off to Georgia.

A month or so ago I went down to Sylva, NC to visit with an aunt and cousin that I hadn’t seen in about 25 years.  It was great seeing them.  And it was good to see the differences in their mountains and ours.  Here are two quick 5×7 paintings that I did when I got home.    And stay tuned, the big annual sale starts soon.

All the while we are painting the huge mural with all the farm animals in the middle of the room for Suzanne McMinn we are also working on a few little side paintings. 

This is Sugar, one of the 10 or so cats that live at the farm.  She is just too cute.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And this is Beulah Petunia, the milk cow.  She is painted on the wall leading out to where her pen is and where she gets milked.  If you could see through the window on the door you would see her out there.

 

 

And if you ever watched Suzanne milk “BP” you would understand the reasoning for this composition.  She puts a bucket of corn and grain in front of her and she continuously eats while Suzanne milks her.  The chickens come from all around because BP drops some of the corn and they want it too!

 

 

 

 

Linda painted this nice vignette above the stove.  It really adds so much to the kitchen area.  Great job Linda!

 

 

 

 

 

 

And here are Linda and I with our host, Suzanne. 

I think Suzanne really loved the final result, especially her beloved BP!

I was thrilled when my friend Linda said she would come with me to Stringtown Rising Farm in West Virginia to paint for Suzanne McMinn, www.chickensintheroad.com .

Linda has been terrific painting all sorts of subject matter.  Today it was Beulah Petunia, Suzanne’s milking cow.  She turned out great!

All I did was a quick sketch and off she went.   It’s been a great help having her here.  She’s painted a cow, a cat, chickens, birds, bird feeders, herbs, spices, and who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Stay tuned.  I hope to post many more photos of our big adventure once we finish painting today.

The Farms and Barns Show at the Blue Ridge Arts Council opened last night with a good crowd coming in to see it.

Here is my Oxbow Sunflowers along with my four Thursday young artists version of the same scene.  It looks great hanging all together.

 

I also have a display of Farm Animals hanging for this show.  They look pretty good altogether like this.

Stop by BRAC to see these and all the other nice paintings of Warren County.
