We had the BEST weeks of Art Camp this summer.  Some of you may have watched as the kids progressed with their work.  We studied impressionism, post-impressionism, modern & abstract art. 

This afternoon from 5-6 at the Community Center there will be a reception for these young artists.  If you are in Front Royal and would like to stop by and join us and encourage these  young artists that would be great!

Hope to see you there.

Painting with Middle Schoolers

Posted in Art Class, tagged , , , , , , , , on September 20, 2011| 2 Comments »

For about 2 1/2 hours yesterday morning and again yesterday afternoon, we had the pleasure of working at the Blue Ridge Arts Council with 13 terrific young artists from Warren County Middle School. 

It was a whirlwind of activity from the minute they arrived.  They were given their canvas and started painting right away. 

I am so grateful that Shelly, one of my adult painting students came to help.

And so did Linda.  It would have been near impossible to get as much done as we did without Linda and Shelly working with us.

And a busy day it was.  In the few hours that we had those 13 students produced 26 paintings.

Absolutely amazing!!!

Here are a few samples of the wonderful work they did.  As soon as the pieces are put together I will be posting the finished works of all of these students.  Many thanks again to Kym, Shelly and Linda!

View at Sylva NC

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

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.
