January 2014 Paint Your Pet Portrait Party

Yesterday afternoon we had another “Paint Your Pet’s Portrait” Party at the Blue Ridge Arts Council and the painters made wonderful renditions of their pets! Just take a look. And a couple of these folks have never painted before. Can you believe it???!!!

Sophie

Ashton

After class I got to play with a couple of the “subjects” and they posed with their portraits. Could they be any cuter? This is Ashton and Sophie.

When are you going to join us? The next “Paint Your Pet’s Portrait” Party is scheduled for February 15th at 3 p.m. Be sure to contact me and sign up early and the class fills fast. See you then.

Right before Christmas I received a commission to paint three paintings of scenes in the North Carolina mountains. The client had spent considerable time in the area as a child with his family and wanted to have these paintings done as gifts for his brothers. This is the first of the three.

Shelly’s Recent Work

Posted in Art Class, tagged Art Class, art lessons, Blue Ridge Arts Council, impressionism, Landscape, Virginia Artist on January 9, 2014| Leave a Comment »

We offer three l adult art classes at the Blue Ridge Arts Council on Wednesdays at 10:30 or 5:30 and Thursday at 5:30. The classes are 1 1/2 hours and are for beginners to advanced paintings. You can join the class at anytime as they are ongoing and each student works on a painting of their choice. (Read more about classes here.) We do all study the same things, however, which is composition and color mixing. I believe once you learn to mix and see colors you really become a good painter.

Shelly has been painting with me for a couple of years and she has a terrific eye for color and color mixing. Here is an example of two of her latest paintings. We work from photographs and the colorful sunset shows just beautifully colors can be added to a painting. Great job Shelly. And the names on the tree is a gift for her son. What a thoughtful and fun painting. Keep up the excellent work Shelly!
