Lighthouse at Martha’s Vineyard, after Ray Ellis is an oil on canvas panel measuring 12″x24″ and is available for $245.  This was a demonstration in art class that one of the students asked to do as she is going to visit relatives next month at Martha’s Vineyard and wanted to paint something for them. 

Ray Ellis is a wonderful artist who used to live at the Vineyard and now lives in Savannah.  He does many wonderful landscapes and still life and we have studied his work.

Hollyhocks Mountain View

Posted in daily painter, tagged , , , , , , , , on June 16, 2010| Leave a Comment »

Hollyhocks Mountain View is an acrylic on canvas panel measuring 10″x8″ available for $195 framed.  This painting can be seen at the new Main Street Bookstore along with several other paintings.

I haven’t painted as much over the last week as I would like.  It’s been a difficult few weeks with loosing Truman and then Jed got injured over the weekend when he had a run in with a truck!  He’s doing ok but is very sore.  He’s getting a little better everyday but I’m playing puppy nurse again and that takes quite a bit of time.

This is Jed in his little thundershirt…he’s scared of thunder on top of his injury and with the weather we have been having in the afternoons it just compounds the need for a “nurse”.   It’s always something. 

Just a reminder that the 3rd Thursday Art Walk is tomorrow evening from 5-8 p.m. in downtown Front Royal.  And at 5:30 the reception for the Blue Ridge Arts Council member show will take place.  Come to BRAC and check out the 80 new pieces of art that local members have entered.  Winners will be announced around 6:15.  Please come downtown and enjoy the arts!

Tangerine is an acrylic on canvas measuring 24″x30″.  This is another piece that I have just completed for the BRAC member show coming up later this month. 

I was asked again recently if I would take pictures during the process of painting to post along with the completed piece.  I did take a photo of the start of this one but I get wrapped up in painting and forget to take more.  I’ll try to do better and post the process more soon.

Red Blooms Diptych is an acrylic on gallery wrap canvas measuring 20″x32″.  SOLD.  This is a painting that I did for the upcoming member show at the Blue Ridge Arts Council.

The show opens on June 17th, the same night as the 3rd Thursday Art Walk in downtown Front Royal.  It’s my favorite show each year that BRAC displays because all the members enter works they have been doing during the year and everyone has such different styles.  I love to see it all together.  Mark your calendar now so that you can be there for the opening reception.

White Quince

White Quince is an oil on canvas measuring 20″x16″ and is available for $295.

I love this time of the year when everything is blooming.  There are so many subjects for painting.  I generally take lots of photos during April and May so that I have subject matter for painting throughout the year.  Building a reference file is important if you paint everyday.

Mean Rooster III is an oil on canvas panel measuring 8″x6″ and is available for $125. 

Mean Rooster belonged to Suzanne McMinn of Chickens in the Road.com fame.  If you haven’t checked out her blog yet take a look to the left at Sites of Interest and you will see a link to her blog.  It’s terrific.

Mean Rooster chased her around the yard and she had to fend him off with a broom!
