This view of the mountains with hanging cloud is one I started at the festival as a demo a few weeks ago. I still have a little more I’d like to do to it.
I love the way the clouds hang in between the mountains, especially this time of the year.
These are a couple of reference photos I took while out at the cabin a few weeks ago. They give me something to work with on the hanging cloud scene.

As I mentioned yesterday, I had a friend and fellow painter come out to the cabin this weekend to enjoy the landscape and paint. Susan has been painting for a year or so now and is doing a great job. This was her first foray into “plein air” painting.
Here is the painting that I worked on that day and the progression of the work… 
And here it is about 95% finished. I’ll do a little more work on it in the studio and it will be ready for sale. This “Fall View” is an oil on 11″x14″ canvas and will be available for $225 by contacting kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com .
Tomorrow I’ll share more with you about what Jed and Lincoln did while we painted. 🙂

This is the painting that I did at the Festival of Leaves last Saturday . It’s not quite finished but I’ll tweak it a little in a day or two to finish it up. Thanks to everyone who stopped by Delilah’s during the Festival of Leaves. It was fun to see everyone.

The Red Pottery Barn is an oil on canvas measuring 9″x12″. This is a painting we are working on in our Tuesday afternoon class. It should be finished soon.
Last night I returned home after being gone for just two hours to teach my Thursday evening art class and this is what I found. Apparently Lincoln had a little party while I was away. The sad thing is that all of this “stuff” was up on shelves or on the table when I left. I don’t know how a dog with those short legs can get things from that high up. UGH!!!

Yesterday afternoon I attended an event for the Blue Ridge Arts Council (BRAC) here in Front Royal. This event is held every other year and several artists are invited to paint on location while attendees watch their progress. Then the painting is auctioned off for the benefit of BRAC.
Here is Michelle Summers hard at work.
And Charlie Logan….
And Elizabeth Sholder working on her painting.
Kathy Chumley working on a wonderful piece.
And Wilson Webb with a gorgeous painting of the trees with the house in the background.
And I didn’t catch Chris Stephens at the easel but this is his painting. Terrific!
The event was enjoyed by a large crowd who munched on wonderful food provided by local businesses including our great friend Katie Tewell of The Apple House. Many thanks to everyone who helped make the event a success and for supporting the Blue Ridge Arts Council and local art.

View of the Mountains XIV is an oil on canvas measuring 9″x12″ and is available for $165.
This is a view that I have painted many times as I use this photograph when teaching new students. I like it because it gives someone new to painting an opportunity to learn color mixing as well as several different compositional lessons.
