Mean Rooster Revisited

Posted in daily painter, Farm Animals, tagged daily painter, daily painting, farm animals, impressionism, Rooster, Virginia Artist on October 12, 2011| 1 Comment »

At the Festival of Leaves last Saturday I worked on a couple of the Farm Animal series paintings.

The first was Mean Rooster from Suzanne’s farm. You can read more about him here.

This was the beginning of the painting.

And I made progress on it throughout the day.

And here’s Mean Rooster nearly finished. This is an oil painting on 8″x6″ canvas panel. He is part of the Farm Animal Series that you can see at Delilah’s on Main Street in Front Royal.

We had the BEST weeks of Art Camp this summer. Some of you may have watched as the kids progressed with their work. We studied impressionism, post-impressionism, modern & abstract art.

This afternoon from 5-6 at the Community Center there will be a reception for these young artists. If you are in Front Royal and would like to stop by and join us and encourage these young artists that would be great!

Hope to see you there.

: Wednesday painters -Mara, Maggie & Judd

: Thursday Painters – Gabby, Dorothy, Kaylee, Mia, & Daniel

A few months ago Maggie brought in this cute little stuffed toy – a dachshund with a hot dog costume on. So we photographed it and finally got around to painting it in class. If you look closely at Maggie in the photo you can see the toy on her head! This was a great lesson for the painters in shading. They all did a great job!!!

Painting with Middle Schoolers

Posted in Art Class, tagged 175th Anniversary of Warren County VA, acrylic, Art Class, art lessons, daily painter, impressionism, Landscape, Virginia Artist, Warren County Middle School on September 20, 2011| 2 Comments »

For about 2 1/2 hours yesterday morning and again yesterday afternoon, we had the pleasure of working at the Blue Ridge Arts Council with 13 terrific young artists from Warren County Middle School.

It was a whirlwind of activity from the minute they arrived. They were given their canvas and started painting right away.

I am so grateful that Shelly, one of my adult painting students came to help.

And so did Linda. It would have been near impossible to get as much done as we did without Linda and Shelly working with us.

And a busy day it was. In the few hours that we had those 13 students produced 26 paintings.

Absolutely amazing!!!

Here are a few samples of the wonderful work they did. As soon as the pieces are put together I will be posting the finished works of all of these students. Many thanks again to Kym, Shelly and Linda!
