Art Camp this week is going great. We are working on Modern Art paintings. We just completed our “Matisse” painting. Here are some of the young artists working on their Matisse.
Then after working with the Art Campers all morning I rushed over to Angel’s Korner where my next group was waiting….34 young artists, ages 5-11. We painted berries. Here are some of the 34 Strawberry paintings that they did.
Good job everyone!!!

Last weekend at the Plein Air Festival in Easton, Maryland, we met a ten-year old plein air painter who competed with the adults in the Paint-out. WOW!
I know adults who are scared to paint outdoors, much less in front of thousands of people. His name is Will Ridenhour and he loves art. You could tell just by talking with him a few minutes . And kudos to his parents who were there encouraging him.
Linda and I couldn’t resist the painting so we purchased it and hope to use it in some way to raise money for our dog park.
Will was excited when we told him we wanted to buy his painting. It was great fun for all of us. Keep painting Will!!!

Coloring Book Cats and Coloring Book Dogs, acrylic on canvas, measuring 30″x20″ each. These are on display at the Blue Ridge Arts Council for “Big Art in a Small Town”.
I saw a kid coloring in a coloring book at a doctor’s office recently and thought, “What fun!” I haven’t colored outside the lines in years so I came home and “colored”. And it was fun!!!
