A few weeks ago I shared with you my day at Long Green where I went to paint with other artists for an upcoming show that will benefit Blue Ridge Hospice. (Read more about it here.) I completed one of the paintings that I started that day. When I get more details about the show I will pass it along.

Last weekend I posted some photos of the Paint-Out at Long Green. This link will take you to the page that shows other painters from that day. The finished paintings will be on display there in September. I will provide more information about the Showhouse and Garden Show when it becomes available.
Of course, my favorite part of the whole day of painting was when this fellow showed up. He belongs to the family that lives the next house over. There wasn’t a name on his tag so I just called him “Handsome”!

Barn – A Good Start
Barn – Laying in Background and Foreground
I had a delightful day of painting at Long Green yesterday. (See here the set-up for my first painting there.) Here is the progress I made. It was a bright sunny day so the shadows kept moving…and fast! But I got the first painting, the barn to a point of about 85% finished.
Barn – Only Details Left to Paint
Now I will tinker on it in the studio until it’s done. The Long Green Paint Out is for an upcoming fundraiser for Blue Ridge Hospice. They are going to have a “Decorator’s Showcase” there in September that will be open to the public. More info to come as I get it. And our paintings will be on display and for sale to benefit Hospice.
