Beauty in Sunflowers

Yesterday I had the most wonderful morning painting “en plein air” at Oxbow Farm. There is the most beautiful field of sunflowers there that just needed to be painted. I tried to take step by step photos to share today of one of the paintings that I did. When I work outside I can usually get a painting about 85-90% finished and then after a day or two of letting the paint “rest” I will complete it in the studio.

I call this “Oxbow Sunflowers 1“. It is an oil on canvas measuring 9″x12” and is available framed for $275.

Being outside and painting sunflowers was such a treat after painting all the ball parks I have been doing the last few months. It was a nice break.

Art Campers Paint Manet

Another session of Art Camp is off to a GREAT start! Yesterday we painted a wonderful copy of Manet’s Peonies, one of my favorites. And the kids painting turned out magnificent. Terrific painters. Can’t wait to see how today’s painting turns out.

Ps. I got a question about why one kid keeps covering his face. His parents prefer that his image not be posted on the internet but I wanted him to be able to show off his beautiful work so this is our compromise. 🙂

Paint Party!

Posted in Paint Parties, tagged acrylic, Art Class, art lessons, Blue Ridge Arts Council, daily painter, flowers, impressionism, Landscape, Paint Parties, painting parties, Virginia Artist on July 14, 2013| Leave a Comment »

The terrific thing about painting is that anyone can do it. If you have the desire to paint, you can learn to paint. Paint Parties are a chance to learn something new with a great group of friends. A little food, a little drink, a lot of laughing. And in the end you have a new painting. Why don’t you get a group together for a party of your own?

Last night we had a fabulous group of painters for their second party and look at the wonderful work they did! Super work everyone!!! It was so much fun. Read more about paint parties here.

Art Camp, Ages 5-7 with Monet’s Poppies

We had a great day of Art Camp with the young artists painting Monet’s Poppy Field. We talked about Monet (that they like to call Money) and impressionism and they painted these fabulous paintings. Great job!

This was the first time we have offered camp for this young age group and they were great. How can you resist their happy faces when they show off their art.

The Twins with Framed Blue Dogs

Here are the Grady twins (with Gryffin photo-bombing) with their painting of Blue Dog. They brought it back in for me to frame for them. Wonderful!

The young artists did a fabulous job on their poppy paintings yesterday. We had a little “test” to be sure they are remembering some of the things I tell them in class and they all did a terrific job. I so glad that what I teach is sticking with them. Great job everyone!!!
