Right before Christmas I received a commission to paint three paintings of scenes in the North Carolina mountains. The client had spent considerable time in the area as a child with his family and wanted to have these paintings done as gifts for his brothers. This is the first of the three.

Shelly’s Recent Work

Posted in Art Class, tagged Art Class, art lessons, Blue Ridge Arts Council, impressionism, Landscape, Virginia Artist on January 9, 2014| Leave a Comment »

We offer three l adult art classes at the Blue Ridge Arts Council on Wednesdays at 10:30 or 5:30 and Thursday at 5:30. The classes are 1 1/2 hours and are for beginners to advanced paintings. You can join the class at anytime as they are ongoing and each student works on a painting of their choice. (Read more about classes here.) We do all study the same things, however, which is composition and color mixing. I believe once you learn to mix and see colors you really become a good painter.

Shelly has been painting with me for a couple of years and she has a terrific eye for color and color mixing. Here is an example of two of her latest paintings. We work from photographs and the colorful sunset shows just beautifully colors can be added to a painting. Great job Shelly. And the names on the tree is a gift for her son. What a thoughtful and fun painting. Keep up the excellent work Shelly!

“Walking the Boardwalk”

Reference photo

I was thrilled to be asked over the last month or two to do several commissions this Christmas. I have been waiting to post them on my blog so that I would not spoil the surprise for those receiving them as gifts. Now I can share them with you.

“Walking the Boardwalk” is a watercolor of a father with his kids walking down a boardwalk. I love the image that was sent to me so it was a really fun piece to do.

Sam’s Gift is a Hit!

Sam with completed cabin painting

Sam hard at work on the cabin

Last month I had a private painting lesson with Sam. She painted her aunt and uncle’s cabin for them as a surprise Christmas gift.

Her grandmother, Barbara, arranged it all. I got a message yesterday that they got the gift and LOVED it. What’s not to love about that kind of thoughtful gift. And Sam did a SUPER job. What a sweet girl!!!

It’s not too late to give your own gift of art. Book a private lesson and paint a gift for someone you love. Or buy a gift certificate for someone to have something they choose painted like their home or a pet portrait. Or how about a gift certificate for art classes? Lots of ideas for gifts of art.
