Every Wednesday at 4:15 p.m. you can find me at the Blue Ridge Arts Council with my young students working on a painting. This is what Isabella (left) and Brooke painted last Wednesday.
Didn’t they do a great job?
If you have a young student (ages 8-11) interested in art, contact me at kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com and let’s get them started painting!

Join us from 5-8 p.m. tonight for the 3rd Thursday Art Walk. I will be painting at the Blue Ridge Arts Council and I invite you to join me. Tonight’s theme is “Minds Wide Open” and we will be working on abstract pieces…and you can join in. I’ll have all the supplies. You just come ready to paint!!!
And abstract doesn’t always mean non-representational. As you can see here there is a representational element to abstract art as well. Come on down and see more.

Saturday was a beautiful day for a festival and we had a great one downtown Front Royal. The Wine & Craft Festival brought lots of people to Main Street and many stopped by to see us at Delilah’s.

And I worked on several paintings that day. I even had a couple of children who helped paint a little.
I used to get really nervous painting in front of others but now that I have done it so often it doesn’t bother me. I enjoy it in fact. People generally have interesting questions about painting and are very encouraging.
We had a drawing for those who came into Delilah’s to register and this was our winner. Sheron Nicodemus from Richmond was the lucky one and this was the painting she selected. I got to spend a few minutes chatting with Sheron and she was just delightful. Congratulations!
(Special thanks to Sandy Patterson for taking the photos of me painting and with Sheron.)

Tomorrow (Saturday) in downtown Front Royal is the Wine Festival. It’s always a good time so if you are in the area stop in tomorrow and come see us at Delilah’s. We’ll be there from 10-6 during the festival hours. Hope to see you then.

Peony Buds is an oil on canvas panel measuring 12″x9″ and is available for $155.
Peonies are my favorite flowers. The sad thing is that they only bloom for a very short time each spring. I would love to have them year round. The other sad thing is that they are very difficult to paint. But I’m making a stab at it this year. Hopefully there will be something worth posting for you to see shortly.
