Anniv Painting reworkedIn 2011 I taught an artist residency with kids at all five elementary schools to celebrate the 175th Anniversary of Warren County.  We painted a large painting that each school now hangs for everyone to see.  Read more about that project here and here.)  For that project  I painted a sample painting for the kids to see what it was that they would be producing during our time together.  In the upper left corner of each painting that the school kids produced they painted their school. 

I decided to  paint out the school and paint the Government Center on the sample painting and then donate it to hang at the Center.  Here is the completed painting.  I am meeting Brandy at the Center this morning to hang the painting and I am very happy that they want to hang it right away.  I’ll try to have some photos to share soon.

Well, we got a total of 15 inches of snow at our house yesterday.  They were calling for 12-24 inches so I consider us lucky! They were so certain it would be a great deal of snow that we had both The Weather Channel and The Today Show’s Al Roker broadcasting from our little town of Front Royal, VA.  Jed's   asking, "Who's in there?"

SAMSUNG I mentioned at the first of the year that I was making a few changes to my daily blog.  One is that I am going to try to set aside certain days for specific purposes.  Saturday is going to be for sales.  On Saturday I will offer an item or two at a discount.  As these are originals and there is only one it will go to the first person who contacts me requesting the work.  So today is the first Saturday Super Sale Day.

I was asked to speak and do a demonstration painting for the Front Royal Christian Women’s Connection at Shenandoah Country Club last week.  Their theme for the month was “Anyone Can Paint”.  And I was thrilled they invited me to share.  I had 15 minutes to do this little painting and to talk about how I got started painting.  As you know I am always telling people that all they need to paint is desire.  I really think anyone who is interested in painting can do it.  And that is why I love teaching and helping people develop their desire to paint.  If you’d like to try it contact kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com for more info or check it out here.

Jed and Lincoln hunkered down in the bed to weather the storm yesterday and last night.  We had lots of wind and rain but luckily we didn’t lose power.

So Mamie hung out with me in the living room.  I watched tv while she watched her toy.  You never know when a “boy” might come along and try to take it while you are distracted with the weather.  🙂

We are grateful that we are safe here at home.  Praying for those who got “Sandy”  much worse than we did.
