Butch’s Barn

Posted in daily painter, Dogs, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on August 5, 2011| Leave a Comment »

During the Farm Tour last May I took lots of photos of Barns and Farms for the upcoming show at the Blue Ridge Arts Council.  I have painted several including this one of a horse stall barn at Butch Eastham’s farm. 

There was several children there that day so excited about seeing the horses.  I decided it would be better painting with the little girl in it so I made a change.

 

That’s one thing about painting.  You can always change something if you decide you would like it better another way!

I call this Farm Tour at the Eastham Barn. It is an 8″x10″ acrylic on canvas.

Also, took this photo of Little Girl when I was at the Eastham Farm that day.  Couldn’t resist showing it…

Matisse Discovered

Posted in Art Class, daily painter, tagged , , , , , , , , on August 2, 2011| Leave a Comment »

Several weeks ago as I was preparing for Modern Art Camp for the kids I decided I needed to attempt a copy of a Matisse painting since that’s what we would be doing for camp.  The one on the left, Lady in a Purple Dress, is the one I did.  My Wednesday Young Artists gave it a go too.  Charlee is shown her with her beautiful version.

And this is Maggie with her excellent version.  Great job girls.  It was fun painting in a little different style and learning more about Matisse.

Quick Watercolor Sketches

Posted in daily painter, tagged , , , , , , , on June 17, 2011| Leave a Comment »

I got a call late on Tuesday afternoon and met with a client to do a quick watercolor sketch of his ideas for changes to his building.  He needed them quickly for a meeting today.  It would have been fun to spend a little more time tweaking them but with the short notice all I had time to do was try to get his ideas on paper.  S

While this is not my most favorite type of painting to do, it is something that comes up from time to time and it does help pay the bills.  🙂
