Fancy, the German Short Hair Pointer Pup and Jade!

Posted in Art Class, daily painter, Dogs, tagged , , , , , , , , , on January 17, 2012| 4 Comments »

Meet Fancy.  She’s a German Shorthair Pointer pup that belongs to some friends.  I met her yesterday and you talk about cute!!!!  She oozes cute.

Now meet Jade.  Fancy is a member of her family and she wanted to paint a picture of her for her mom.  We met yesterday for a lesson and she came up with this terrific painting!  Great job!

And while Jade is only 7 years old, she is such a sweet and mannerly girl that she brought me a wonderful thank you note before we even started our painting.  Adorable!

Olivia with an Iris

Posted in Art Class, tagged , , , , , on January 11, 2012| 2 Comments »

Olivia painted this beautiful Iris last weekend for her grandparents.  She did a lovely job.  She takes private lessons with me. 

I have many young artists painters that I work with either in class (ages 7-12) or taking private lessons.  Kids younger than 7 often do best with one on one instruction in art.  If you have a budding artist, get in touch with me about signing them up for art lessons or class.  They’ll love it!   kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com

Polar Bears

Our young artists painted polar bears this week.  You can see the photograph that we used on the wall behind Michael’s head.  My friend, Jennie, took this photo while on an expedition to visit these beautiful creatures last year.  She shared this photo and a couple of others with me so they kids could paint them.  Good job guys!

Kaylee painted a cool picture of her brother’s truck for him as a surprise Christmas present.  She said he “Loves His Truck”.  So I thought his was  a sweet gift for her to give.  We worked on it for only a little over an hour and look what a great painting she did!

A Cabin in Fort Valley

I was thrilled to be commissioned by a friend to paint a special present for her father-in-law as a Christmas gift from the family of his favorite family place, their hunting cabin.

It is a great old log cabin and was fun to paint.  And it’s always a thrill to me when the client let’s me know the reaction of the recipient.  Take a look here to see what she said.
