The Path…. and Lincoln

Posted in daily painter, Dogs, tagged , , , , on August 31, 2010| 1 Comment »

Path Through the Woods is an oil on canvas measuring 11″x14″ and is available for $285. 

Lincoln had his first visit to the cabin recently and discovered the fish.  He was fascinated by them and I think they were curious about him as well.

He also spent a lot of time running through the tall grass and chasing butterflies.  He’s such a funny little guy.

Like all the dogs I have taken out there though, he hasn’t learned to pace himself and he runs until his little tongue just hangs out!  Hopefully he’ll learn soon.

Finishing Something…

Posted in daily painter, tagged , , , , , , , on August 25, 2010| Leave a Comment »

About six weeks ago while out for a visit at the cabin, I went out with Jed and set up to paint a nice view on top of the mountain.

It was a really nice day and I got started before the sun got to be too awfully hot.

One thing about painting on location is that you have to get started quickly and paint because the light is always changing. 

I try to move along quickly but sometimes I get distracted by Jed.  🙂

I get as far along as I possible can while on location.

And then when I get back to my studio I put on the finishing touches and try to make it a painting that’s ready to frame.

This is the finished product of Sunday in Plein Air, and oil on canvas measuring 12″x24″ and available for $245 (or $295 framed).

Helping Haiti

Posted in daily painter, Small Town Life, tagged , , , , , , on August 20, 2010| Leave a Comment »

The Blue Ridge Arts Council (BRAC) is helping with a Haiti project for schools.  There are several really large wooden boxes that they have asked to have painted that will be filled with supplies for school children and delivered soon.  Our job, as volunteer artists, is to paint them in fun and exciting ways.  I am working on a checkerboard top for one of the boxes.

Another artist worked on painting a scene on the box.  These should be finished  very soon and will be on the way to Haiti to aid the children there.

Strasburg Art Walk

Posted in daily painter, Small Town Life, tagged , , , , , , , , on July 21, 2010| Leave a Comment »

As I mentioned last week, I was invited to paint in Strasburg Friday at their first Art Walk.  It happened to coincide with their annual Fireman’s Carnival Parade so there were loads of people downtown to watch the parade and they watched me paint.

You can see the progression of the work here.  Also, I had help from a few young people in selecting which picture they wanted me to paint.

And they even helped me put the finishing flowers in the painting.  I think they enjoyed it almost as much as the parade!

And the painting was about 90% finished by the time I left.  Finishing touches will go on this week and then I’ll post again.

Hollyhocks Mountain View

Posted in daily painter, tagged , , , , , , , , on June 16, 2010| Leave a Comment »

Hollyhocks Mountain View is an acrylic on canvas panel measuring 10″x8″ available for $195 framed.  This painting can be seen at the new Main Street Bookstore along with several other paintings.

I haven’t painted as much over the last week as I would like.  It’s been a difficult few weeks with loosing Truman and then Jed got injured over the weekend when he had a run in with a truck!  He’s doing ok but is very sore.  He’s getting a little better everyday but I’m playing puppy nurse again and that takes quite a bit of time.

This is Jed in his little thundershirt…he’s scared of thunder on top of his injury and with the weather we have been having in the afternoons it just compounds the need for a “nurse”.   It’s always something. 

Just a reminder that the 3rd Thursday Art Walk is tomorrow evening from 5-8 p.m. in downtown Front Royal.  And at 5:30 the reception for the Blue Ridge Arts Council member show will take place.  Come to BRAC and check out the 80 new pieces of art that local members have entered.  Winners will be announced around 6:15.  Please come downtown and enjoy the arts!

Red Blooms

Posted in daily painter, tagged , , , , , , , on June 3, 2010| Leave a Comment »

Red Blooms Diptych is an acrylic on gallery wrap canvas measuring 20″x32″.  SOLD.  This is a painting that I did for the upcoming member show at the Blue Ridge Arts Council.

The show opens on June 17th, the same night as the 3rd Thursday Art Walk in downtown Front Royal.  It’s my favorite show each year that BRAC displays because all the members enter works they have been doing during the year and everyone has such different styles.  I love to see it all together.  Mark your calendar now so that you can be there for the opening reception.
