Here’s some photos from past times that I painted at Delilah’s for Festivals.
It’s what I’ll be doing again tomorrow for the Festival of Leaves in Downtown Front Royal. Come to the festival for a fun day. The weather is going to be perfect and we’d love to see you. Stop by Delilah’s and say hello.

N6048A is an oil on canvas measuring 12″x24″. This was a gift a couple of years ago for Allen but since I just posted the info yesterday about our trip I thought it might be nice to show this painting today. This is often how it looks as we get ready to go, with the mountains in the background.

We spent the weekend at our friends Sally and Bob’s farm in Southern Virginia. And the dogs were in heaven. Counting Jed and Lincoln there were 11!
All of Sally’s dogs are rescues, bless her heart! And the latest is Jack. He’s the smallest guy she’s ever had and she is besotted with him and his underbite.
Jed and Lincoln played in the water, walked, ran and played for two straight days and now they are exhausted. Yeah!
Lincoln with a couple of his “girls”. We decided that Lincoln is definitely a ladies man. He loved all the girls dogs and they LOVED him.

I didn’t want my Adult Art Class to feel neglected since I have been posting so many of my young students lately so here is Shelly and Marlene painting away last Wednesday Night.
And Jean and Pat were right across the table working just as hard.
We have such a good time together painting. If you have ever wanted to learn to paint or if you are a painter and want to join a fun group, come paint with us on Wednesday or Thursday evenings at the Blue Ridge Arts Council on Main Street in Front Royal.

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.
