Even though I taught nine hours each day at the Retreat I did find a little time one morning to paint a little scene in Plein-air. This lovely little scene was right behind my cabin.

Here is the progress I made in about an hour.

And here is the final painting, Camp Shepherd Morning, oil on canvas panel, 8″x10″, framed and available for $195.

Painting should be fun! As these delightful ladies found out last Friday evening. I was thrilled to paint with them at their “Girls Night Out” and we had a terrific time. Even though a couple were hesitant at first about giving it a try, in the end they were all really glad they did and thrilled with the result.

Painting Parties are great fun for kids or adults. And there are many, many subjects to choose from to tailor it to whatever theme you may have. Check out more information here and contact kwalker@kellywalkerstudios.com to book your party today.

Great job ladies and thanks for all the laughs. I had fun too!

Maddie and Kallie

I was thrilled when a neighbor and fellow dog lover asked me to paint Maddie and Kallie as a farewell gift for a friend that she works with here in town. Their little group wanted to give her something special to remember them and since the lady loved her pitties they did this. And I loved painting them. Such pretty girls.

Living with Art

Posted in daily painter, Small Town Life, tagged art lessons, daily painter, Virginia Artist on September 5, 2012| Leave a Comment »

I was thrilled to see at The Barnes Collection that Dr. Barnes hung his art the same way I do…ceiling to floor…mixing artists and styles. He felt that there was much to be learned by having paintings and styles side by side to study them. I have long felt the same way.

I hang my art along with other artists that I have collected. It helps me to improve my own work.

I think that living with art surrounding every day help me helps me to see what I want to become as an artist.

Drip Art

Posted in Art Class, daily painter, tagged Abstract, abstract art, acrylic, Art Class, art lessons, Blue Ridge Arts Council, daily painter, Drip art, Virginia Artist on August 23, 2012| Leave a Comment »

As you know, I work with kids art classes on Wednesday and Thursday at 4:15 at the Blue Ridge Arts Council. And while I attempt to complete a painting, a still life, a landscape, etc., almost every week, this is what they would love to do. Drip paintings or splatter art is one of their favorites. This is a piece I did on wood with them several weeks ago. They love to just drip the paint and see what happens.
