Sam with completed cabin painting
Sam hard at work on the cabin
Last month I had a private painting lesson with Sam. She painted her aunt and uncle’s cabin for them as a surprise Christmas gift.
Her grandmother, Barbara, arranged it all. I got a message yesterday that they got the gift and LOVED it. What’s not to love about that kind of thoughtful gift. And Sam did a SUPER job. What a sweet girl!!!
It’s not too late to give your own gift of art. Book a private lesson and paint a gift for someone you love. Or buy a gift certificate for someone to have something they choose painted like their home or a pet portrait. Or how about a gift certificate for art classes? Lots of ideas for gifts of art. Contact kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com for more information.

We did a holiday painting yesterday in kid’s class. Their tree limbs with holiday ornaments turned out so good. Fabulous everyone! (Remember kids class is every Thursday at 4:15 for kids ages 7-13. Register your young artist today for next weeks class.)
And as a bonus, Blaze came by class with his kids. 🙂

I am taking a short break away but it’s hard to go without painting when you are accustomed to painting every day so I am working on a large painting of the local marsh view. It’s nice to change up the subject matter from the mountains, vineyards, and baseball parks I have been painting the last several months. I hope to finish it today so I can share the finished painting tomorrow.

Jace reference photo (left) and painting (right)
As you know I love dogs. And I love it when my friends post photos of their dogs on their Facebook pages. A few months ago some friends from back home in Georgia got a new puppy that is just adorable and they posted terrific pics of her. They were kind enough to give me permission to paint from their photos. This is Jace…a super cute lab pup that loves the beach. What a cutie. This painting is called Jace and is 8″x6″, acrylic on canvas and is available for $120 framed.
