Our young artists painted polar bears this week. You can see the photograph that we used on the wall behind Michael’s head. My friend, Jennie, took this photo while on an expedition to visit these beautiful creatures last year. She shared this photo and a couple of others with me so they kids could paint them. Good job guys!

Kaylee painted a cool picture of her brother’s truck for him as a surprise Christmas present. She said he “Loves His Truck”. So I thought his was a sweet gift for her to give. We worked on it for only a little over an hour and look what a great painting she did!

I was thrilled to be commissioned by a friend to paint a special present for her father-in-law as a Christmas gift from the family of his favorite family place, their hunting cabin.

It is a great old log cabin and was fun to paint. And it’s always a thrill to me when the client let’s me know the reaction of the recipient. Take a look here to see what she said.

Target’s Warren County Middle School Art Project

Posted in Art Class, daily painter, tagged 175th Anniversary of Warren County VA, acrylic, Art Class, Art Residency, daily painter, impressionism, Landscape, Shenandoah Valley, Small Town Life, Virginia Artist, Warren County 175th Anniversary on October 24, 2011| Leave a Comment »

In September we received a grant from Target to teach an art residency at Warren County Middle School.

I spent the day with 13 wonderful young people who attacked the project with enthusiasm.

The project was part of the 175th Anniversary of Warren County project so we painted pieces that relate to our history both past and present.

Each student painted two 12″x12″ panels that related to government, education, tourism, transportation, or agriculture.

We put these together into four larger panels that will be unveiled this evening at WCMS at 6 pm. If you are downtown this evening and would like to see them in person stop by and help us celebrate these wonderful young artists and their accomplishment!

And many thanks to Target for sponsoring this project; to Linda Kusior and Shelly Brugal, two wonderful artists who assisted us with the class; and the Blue Ridge Arts Council for continuing to bring exciting art projects to young people in our community.
