View at Sylva NC

Posted in daily painter, Travel, tagged , , , , , , , , on September 8, 2011| 1 Comment »

A month or so ago I went down to Sylva, NC to visit with an aunt and cousin that I hadn’t seen in about 25 years.  It was great seeing them.  And it was good to see the differences in their mountains and ours.  Here are two quick 5×7 paintings that I did when I got home.    And stay tuned, the big annual sale starts soon.

Sugar and Beulah Petunia

Posted in daily painter, Farm Animals, tagged , , , , , , , , , on September 2, 2011| 1 Comment »

All the while we are painting the huge mural with all the farm animals in the middle of the room for Suzanne McMinn we are also working on a few little side paintings. 

This is Sugar, one of the 10 or so cats that live at the farm.  She is just too cute.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And this is Beulah Petunia, the milk cow.  She is painted on the wall leading out to where her pen is and where she gets milked.  If you could see through the window on the door you would see her out there.

 

 

And if you ever watched Suzanne milk “BP” you would understand the reasoning for this composition.  She puts a bucket of corn and grain in front of her and she continuously eats while Suzanne milks her.  The chickens come from all around because BP drops some of the corn and they want it too!

 

 

 

 

Linda painted this nice vignette above the stove.  It really adds so much to the kitchen area.  Great job Linda!

 

 

 

 

 

 

And here are Linda and I with our host, Suzanne. 

I think Suzanne really loved the final result, especially her beloved BP!

The Painting Begins

Posted in Farm Animals, tagged , , , , , , , on September 1, 2011| Leave a Comment »

I’ve been asked to chronicle the development of the painting that we did at Stringtown Rising Farm.  We were so busy painting that I didn’t always think to take a photo but here is the painting from beginning to end from the photos I do have.  I will post some close-ups tomorrow.

Many Thanks to Linda

Posted in daily painter, tagged , , , , , , , on August 30, 2011| Leave a Comment »

I was thrilled when my friend Linda said she would come with me to Stringtown Rising Farm in West Virginia to paint for Suzanne McMinn, www.chickensintheroad.com .

Linda has been terrific painting all sorts of subject matter.  Today it was Beulah Petunia, Suzanne’s milking cow.  She turned out great!

All I did was a quick sketch and off she went.   It’s been a great help having her here.  She’s painted a cow, a cat, chickens, birds, bird feeders, herbs, spices, and who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Stay tuned.  I hope to post many more photos of our big adventure once we finish painting today.

Progress Being Made

Posted in daily painter, tagged , , , , , , , , on August 29, 2011| 1 Comment »

We started today with blank white block walls….

 

And soon there there was sky….

 

 

 

 

And mountains….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And a meadow and trees….

 

 

 

 

And Linda painted a cat, Spice, in the tree.

We still have lots of animals to add but it’s really coming along.

 

 

 

 

Then after dinner I got my second wind and painted the other cat, Sugar, in the mailbox.  Can you say special delivery??!!!

Art Camp Week 5 – Monet’s Poppies

Posted in Art Camp, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on August 23, 2011| Leave a Comment »

The final week of Art Camp for the summer began yesterday at the Blue Ridge Arts Council. 

We started by painting the color wheel and learning about color mixing.  Then the young artists went on to learn about Monet and we painted this lovely version of Monet’s poppy field using just the three basic colors – red, yellow, and blue, plus white. 

Can you believe they did this with just those colors?  Great job guys!
