A few weeks ago I shared with you my day at Long Green where I went to paint with other artists for an upcoming show that will benefit Blue Ridge Hospice. (Read more about it here.) I completed one of the paintings that I started that day. When I get more details about the show I will pass it along.
Long Green, oil on canvas, 9″x12″.

Minute Maid Park

Cit Field
New York Mets
Just completed number 11 in the series of 30: Citi Field, home of the New York Mets. One of the most unusual things about Citi Field is that it is the only MLB park with orange foul poles instead of yellow.

Chase Field
Arizona Diamondbacks
Just finished Chase Field – Home of the Arizona Diamondbacks. It’s the first domed field that I’ve painted. It was a very different experience than the others. There are 5 more domed fields to paint.
Because of the hot weather in Arizona, Chase is completely air-conditioned. Wow!
This is the 10th painting in the series. Just 20 more to go! 🙂

Barn – A Good Start
Barn – Laying in Background and Foreground
I had a delightful day of painting at Long Green yesterday. (See here the set-up for my first painting there.) Here is the progress I made. It was a bright sunny day so the shadows kept moving…and fast! But I got the first painting, the barn to a point of about 85% finished.
Barn – Only Details Left to Paint
Now I will tinker on it in the studio until it’s done. The Long Green Paint Out is for an upcoming fundraiser for Blue Ridge Hospice. They are going to have a “Decorator’s Showcase” there in September that will be open to the public. More info to come as I get it. And our paintings will be on display and for sale to benefit Hospice.

My niece Lexie graduated from high school yesterday and I gave her this painting as one of her graduation gifts. She loves blue Hydrangea so I painted this one just for her. It’s a 12″x12″ acrylic on canvas.
Congrats Lex!!!

The Thursday kids class painted a beautiful local landscape with a fence and gate in the foreground. They are fantastic! Good job everyone.
And I am sad to say that I will no longer be working with the wonderful ladies at the Southerlands. They have discontinued their art program. I will miss all the fun we have had. Here is Miss Gaylor with the last painting I helped her paint. I will miss them.

Paint Parties are a great way to enjoy some time out with the girls. And everyone has a great time learning to paint. I love the comments from the painters at these parties. Coming into the art room they always say, “I can’t paint. Maybe I’ll just watch”. And then at the end of the evening it’s, “Wow, I can’t believe I did that.” And “That was so much fun, I’m amazed at how great it turned out!”
I’m not sure who has more fun, the painters or me! To learn more or schedule your own party for adults or for kids click here.
