Summer Art Camp wrapped up yesterday with ten young painters, ages 5-7, recreating the wonderful Matisse painting – Interior with a Dog (although a couple of them made them into cats). Great job!
We have had a wonderful summer of Art Camp Painters and will be announcing soon some dates for weekend workshops and a holiday camp. We hope to see you all there!

Art Campers & Van Gogh
Art Campers Take a Break
My youngest group of Art Campers, ages 5-7, painted a wonderful copy of “Van Gogh’s Sprig of Almond” and what an amazing job they did!
Good work everyone. And many thanks to my student Logan who came in to work as my assistant with this young group. She was terrific at everything from mixing paint to opening water bottles at break! 🙂

Finished mural with brick window detail.
Finished Mural
Two weeks ago I posted about a mural that I was beginning to paint at Main Street Travel in Front Royal. (See that here.)
Well now the mural is finished. And here is the final look along with a recap of the project.
We decided to go with a brick window since the front window of her store is outlined in brick. (See photo.)
The client is happy so that makes me happy!
